14 “Declare in Egypt and cause it to be heard in (A)Migdol;
Cause it to be heard also in Memphis and (B)Tahpanhes;
Say, ‘Take your stand and get yourself ready,
For the (C)sword has devoured those around you.’

Indeed, they have fallen one against another.
Then they said, ‘Rise up! And (G)let us return
To our own people and land of our birth
Away from the [a](H)sword of the oppressor.’
