Jeremiah 46:16-18

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁶ He continues to stumble.^(A)
Indeed, each falls over the other.
They say, “Get up! Let’s return to our people
and to our native land,
away from the oppressor’s sword.”^(B)
17 There they will cry out,
“Pharaoh king of Egypt was all noise;
he let the opportune moment pass.”
¹⁸ As I live—
this is the King’s declaration;
the Lord of Armies is his name^(C)—
the king of Babylon^[a] will come like Tabor among the mountains
and like Carmel by the sea.
