14 “Declare in Egypt and proclaim in (A)Migdol,
Proclaim also in Memphis and (B)Tahpanhes;
Say, ‘Take your stand and get yourself ready,
For the (C)sword has devoured those around you.’
15 Why have your (D)powerful ones been cut down?
They do not stand because the Lord has (E)thrust them away.
16 They have repeatedly (F)stumbled;
Indeed, they have fallen, one against another.
Then they said, ‘Get up, and (G)let’s go back
To our own people and our native land,
Away from the [a](H)sword of the oppressor!’
