⁷ The king of Egypt^(A) did not march out from his own country again, because the king of Babylon^(B) had taken all his territory, from the Wadi of Egypt to the Euphrates River.

² Concerning Egypt:^(A)

This is the message against the army of Pharaoh Necho^(B) king of Egypt, which was defeated at Carchemish^(C) on the Euphrates^(D) River by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon in the fourth year of Jehoiakim^(E) son of Josiah king of Judah:

⁵ Pharaoh’s army had marched out of Egypt,^(A) and when the Babylonians^[a] who were besieging Jerusalem heard the report about them, they withdrew^(B) from Jerusalem.^(C)

⁶ Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet: ⁷ “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Tell the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire^(D) of me, ‘Pharaoh’s army, which has marched^(E) out to support you, will go back to its own land, to Egypt.^(F)

¹⁸ On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram^(A) and said, “To your descendants I give this land,^(B) from the Wadi^[a] of Egypt^(C) to the great river, the Euphrates^(D)—

⁵ where it will turn, join the Wadi of Egypt^(A) and end at the Mediterranean Sea.

¹² In that day the Lord will thresh^(A) from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt,^(B) and you, Israel, will be gathered^(C) up one by one.

²¹ And Solomon ruled^(A) over all the kingdoms from the Euphrates River^(B) to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt.^(C) These countries brought tribute^(D) and were Solomon’s subjects all his life.
