Jeremiah 46:18-20
New Catholic Bible
18 As I live, says the King,
whose name is the Lord of hosts,
one is coming like Tabor[a] among the mountains,
like Carmel by the sea.
19 Prepare your baggage to go into exile,
you inhabitants of Egypt.
Memphis will become a desert waste,
a desolate, uninhabited ruin.
20 Egypt is a beautiful heifer,[b]
but a gadfly from the north
is preparing to move against her.
