12 The nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry hath filled the land: for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, and they are fallen both together.

13 The word that the Lord spake to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and smite the land of Egypt.

14 Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say ye, Stand fast, and prepare thee; for the sword shall devour round about thee.

12 The nations have heard of your (A)shame,
And the earth is full of your (B)cry of distress;
For one (C)warrior has stumbled over [a]another,
And both of them have fallen down together.

13 This is the [b]message which the Lord spoke to Jeremiah the prophet about the (D)coming of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to (E)strike the land of Egypt:

14 “Declare in Egypt and proclaim in (F)Migdol,
Proclaim also in Memphis and (G)Tahpanhes;
Say, ‘Take your stand and get yourself ready,
For the (H)sword has devoured those around you.’
