Jeremiah 46:14-16

Modern English Version

¹⁴ Declare in Egypt and publish in Migdol,
    and publish in Memphis and in Tahpanhes;
say, “Stand fast and prepare yourself,
    for the sword will devour those about you.”
¹⁵ Why have your valiant men become prostrate?
    They do not stand because the Lord has thrust them down.
¹⁶ He made many to fall.
    Indeed, each one has fallen upon another.
Then they said, “Arise and let us go back
    to our own people and to the land of our nativity,
    away from the oppressing sword.”
