Jeremiah 46:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 The LORD spoke to Jeremiah about the nations.
2 He spoke about Egypt and the army of Pharaoh Necho king of Egypt which was encamped along the Euphrates River at Carchemish. Now this was the army that King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon defeated in the fourth year that Jehoiakim son of Josiah was ruling over Judah.
3 "Fall into ranks with your shields ready! Prepare to march into battle!
4 Harness the horses to the chariots! Mount your horses! Put on your helmets and take your positions! Sharpen you spears! Put on your armor!
5 What do I see?" says the LORD. "The soldiers are terrified. They are retreating. They have been defeated. They are overcome with terror; they desert quickly without looking back.
6 But even the swiftest cannot get away. Even the strongest cannot escape. There in the north by the Euphrates River they stumble and fall in defeat.
7 "Who is this that rises like the Nile, like its streams turbulent at flood stage?
8 Egypt rises like the Nile, like its streams turbulent at flood stage. Egypt says, 'I will arise and cover the earth. I will destroy cities and the people who inhabit them.'
9 Go ahead and charge into battle, you horsemen! Drive furiously, you charioteers! Let the soldiers march out into battle, those from Ethiopia and Libya who carry shields, and those from Lydia who are armed with the bow.
10 But that day belongs to the Lord God who rules over all. It is the day when he will pay back his enemies. His sword will devour them until its appetite is satisfied! It will drink their blood until it is full! For the Lord GOD who rules over all will offer them up as a sacrifice in the land of the north by the Euphrates River.
11 Go up to Gilead and get medicinal ointment, you dear poor people of Egypt. But it will prove useless no matter how much medicine you use; there will be no healing for you.
12 The nations will hear of your devastating defeat. your cries of distress will echo throughout the earth. In the panic of their flight one soldier will trip over another and both of them will fall down defeated."
13 The LORD spoke to the prophet Jeremiah about Nebuchadnezzar coming to attack the land of Egypt.
14 "Make an announcement throughout Egypt. Proclaim it in Migdol, Memphis, and Tahpanhes. 'Take your positions and prepare to do battle. For the enemy army is destroying all the nations around you.'
15 Why will your soldiers be defeated? They will not stand because I, the LORD, will thrust them down.
16 I will make many stumble. They will fall over one another in their hurry to flee. They will say, 'Get up! Let's go back to our own people. Let's go back to our homelands because the enemy is coming to destroy us.'
17 There at home they will say, 'Pharaoh king of Egypt is just a big noise! He has let the most opportune moment pass by.'
18 I the King, whose name is the LORD who rules over all, swear this: I swear as surely as I live that a conqueror is coming. He will be as imposing as Mount Tabor is among the mountains, as Mount Carmel is against the backdrop of the sea.
19 Pack your bags for exile, you inhabitants of poor dear Egypt. For Memphis will be laid waste. It will lie in ruins and be uninhabited.
20 Egypt is like a beautiful young cow. But northern armies will attack her like swarms of stinging flies.
21 Even her mercenaries will prove to be like pampered, well-fed calves. For they too will turn and run away. They will not stand their ground when the time for them to be destroyed comes, the time for them to be punished.
22 Egypt will run away, hissing like a snake, as the enemy comes marching up in force. They will come against her with axes as if they were woodsmen chopping down trees.
23 The population of Egypt is like a vast, impenetrable forest. But I, the LORD, affirm that the enemy will cut them down. For those who chop them down will be more numerous than locusts. They will be too numerous to count.
24 Poor dear Egypt will be put to shame. She will be handed over to the people from the north."
25 The LORD God of Israel who rules over all says, "I will punish Amon, the god of Thebes. I will punish Egypt, its gods, and its kings. I will punish Pharaoh and all who trust in him.
26 I will hand them over to Nebuchadnezzar and his troops, who want to kill them. But later on, people will live in Egypt again as they did in former times. I, the LORD, affirm it!"
27 "You descendants of Jacob, my servants, do not be afraid; do not be terrified, people of Israel. For I will rescue you and your descendants from the faraway lands where you are captives. The descendants of Jacob will return to their land and enjoy peace. They will be secure and no one will terrify them.
28 I, the LORD, tell you not to be afraid, you descendants of Jacob, my servant, for I am with you. Though I completely destroy all the nations where I scatter you, I will not completely destroy you. I will indeed discipline you but only in due measure. I will not allow you to go entirely unpunished."
1 The word H1697 of the LORD H3068 which H834 came H1961 to H413 Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 against H5921 the Gentiles; H1471
2 Against Egypt, H4714 against H5921 the army H2428 of Pharaoh Necho H6549 king H4428 of Egypt, H4714 which H834 was H1961 by H5921 the river H5104 Euphrates H6578 in Carchemish, H3751 which H834 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 smote H5221 in the fourth H7243 year H8141 of Jehoiakim H3079 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977 king H4428 of Judah. H3063
3 Order H6186 ye the buckler H4043 and shield, H6793 and draw near H5066 to battle. H4421
4 Harness H631 the horses; H5483 and get up, H5927 ye horsemen, H6571 and stand forth H3320 with your helmets; H3553 furbish H4838 the spears, H7420 and put on H3847 the brigandines. H5630
5 Wherefore H4069 have I seen H7200 them H1992 dismayed H2844 and turned away H5472 back H268 ? and their mighty ones H1368 are beaten down, H3807 and are fled apace H4498 H5127 , and look not back H6437 H3808 : for fear H4032 was round about H4480 H5439 , saith H5002 the LORD. H3068
6 Let not H408 the swift H7031 flee away, H5127 nor H408 the mighty man H1368 escape; H4422 they shall stumble, H3782 and fall H5307 toward the north H6828 by H5921 H3027 the river H5104 Euphrates. H6578
7 Who H4310 is this H2088 that cometh up H5927 as a flood, H2975 whose waters H4325 are moved H1607 as the rivers H5104 ?
8 Egypt H4714 riseth up H5927 like a flood, H2975 and his waters H4325 are moved H1607 like the rivers; H5104 and he saith, H559 I will go up, H5927 and will cover H3680 the earth; H776 I will destroy H6 the city H5892 and the inhabitants H3427 thereof.
9 Come up, H5927 ye horses; H5483 and rage, H1984 ye chariots; H7393 and let the mighty men H1368 come forth; H3318 the Ethiopians H3568 and the Libyans, H6316 that handle H8610 the shield; H4043 and the Lydians, H3866 that handle H8610 and bend H1869 the bow. H7198
10 For this H1931 is the day H3117 of the Lord H136 GOD H3069 of hosts, H6635 a day H3117 of vengeance, H5360 that he may avenge H5358 him of his adversaries H4480 H6862 : and the sword H2719 shall devour, H398 and it shall be satiate H7646 and made drunk H7301 with their blood H4480 H1818 : for H3588 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 of hosts H6635 hath a sacrifice H2077 in the north H6828 country H776 by H413 the river H5104 Euphrates. H6578
11 Go up H5927 into Gilead, H1568 and take H3947 balm, H6875 O virgin, H1330 the daughter H1323 of Egypt: H4714 in vain H7723 shalt thou use many H7235 medicines; H7499 for thou shalt not H369 be cured. H8585
12 The nations H1471 have heard H8085 of thy shame, H7036 and thy cry H6682 hath filled H4390 the land: H776 for H3588 the mighty man H1368 hath stumbled H3782 against the mighty, H1368 and they are fallen H5307 both H8147 together. H3162
13 The word H1697 that H834 the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 to H413 Jeremiah H3414 the prophet, H5030 how Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 should come H935 and smite H5221 H853 the land H776 of Egypt. H4714
14 Declare H5046 ye in Egypt, H4714 and publish H8085 in Migdol, H4024 and publish H8085 in Noph H5297 and in Tahpanhes: H8471 say H559 ye , Stand fast, H3320 and prepare H3559 thee; for H3588 the sword H2719 shall devour H398 round about H5439 thee.
15 Why H4069 are thy valiant H47 men swept away H5502 ? they stood H5975 not, H3808 because H3588 the LORD H3068 did drive H1920 them.
16 He made many H7235 to fall, H3782 yea, H1571 one H376 fell H5307 upon H413 another: H7453 and they said, H559 Arise, H6965 and let us go again H7725 to H413 our own people, H5971 and to H413 the land H776 of our nativity, H4138 from H4480 H6440 the oppressing H3238 sword. H2719
17 They did cry H7121 there, H8033 Pharaoh H6547 king H4428 of Egypt H4714 is but a noise; H7588 he hath passed H5674 the time appointed. H4150
18 As I H589 live, H2416 saith H5002 the King, H4428 whose name H8034 is the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 Surely H3588 as Tabor H8396 is among the mountains, H2022 and as Carmel H3760 by the sea, H3220 so shall he come. H935
19 O thou daughter H1323 dwelling H3427 in Egypt, H4714 furnish H3627 H6213 thyself to go into captivity: H1473 for H3588 Noph H5297 shall be H1961 waste H8047 and desolate H3341 without H4480 H369 an inhabitant. H3427
20 Egypt H4714 is like a very fair H3304 heifer, H5697 but destruction H7171 cometh; H935 it cometh H935 out of the north H4480 H6828 .
21 Also H1571 her hired men H7916 are in the midst H7130 of her like fatted H4770 bullocks; H5695 for H3588 they H1992 also H1571 are turned back, H6437 and are fled away H5127 together: H3162 they did not H3808 stand, H5975 because H3588 the day H3117 of their calamity H343 was come H935 upon H5921 them, and the time H6256 of their visitation. H6486
22 The voice H6963 thereof shall go H1980 like a serpent; H5175 for H3588 they shall march H1980 with an army, H2428 and come H935 against her with axes, H7134 as hewers H2404 of wood. H6086
23 They shall cut down H3772 her forest, H3293 saith H5002 the LORD, H3068 though H3588 it cannot H3808 be searched; H2713 because H3588 they are more H7231 than the grasshoppers H4480 H697 , and are innumerable H369 H4557 .
24 The daughter H1323 of Egypt H4714 shall be confounded; H3001 she shall be delivered H5414 into the hand H3027 of the people H5971 of the north. H6828
25 The LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 the God H430 of Israel, H3478 saith; H559 Behold, H2009 I will punish H6485 H413 the multitude H528 of No H4480 H4996 , and Pharaoh, H6547 and Egypt, H4714 with H5921 their gods, H430 and their kings; H4428 even Pharaoh, H6547 and all them that trust H982 in him:
26 And I will deliver H5414 them into the hand H3027 of those that seek H1245 their lives, H5315 and into the hand H3027 of Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon, H894 and into the hand H3027 of his servants: H5650 and afterward H310 H3651 it shall be inhabited, H7931 as in the days H3117 of old, H6924 saith H5002 the LORD. H3068
27 But fear H3372 not H408 thou, H859 O my servant H5650 Jacob, H3290 and be not H408 dismayed, H2865 O Israel: H3478 for, H3588 behold, H2009 I will save H3467 thee from afar off H4480 H7350 , and thy seed H2233 from the land H4480 H776 of their captivity; H7628 and Jacob H3290 shall return, H7725 and be in rest H8252 and at ease, H7599 and none H369 shall make him afraid. H2729
28 Fear H3372 thou H859 not, H408 O Jacob H3290 my servant, H5650 saith H5002 the LORD: H3068 for H3588 I H589 am with H854 thee; for H3588 I will make H6213 a full end H3617 of all H3605 the nations H1471 whither H834 H8033 I have driven H5080 thee : but I will not H3808 make H6213 a full end H3617 of thee , but correct H3256 thee in measure; H4941 yet will I not H3808 leave thee wholly H5352 unpunished.
