Jeremiah 46:14-16

Common English Bible

¹⁴ Tell Egypt, warn Migdol,
    alert Memphis and Tahpanhes!
Say: “Brace yourselves for what’s coming.
    War is breaking out from every side!”
¹⁵ Why have your mighty fallen?
    Why haven’t they stood their ground?
        Because the Lord has struck them down.
¹⁶ He’s tripped them up;
    they fall over each other and say,
    “Let’s get out of here
        and go home to our people,
        where we were born,
        far away from the oppressor’s sword.”^[a]
