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)mighty ones become prostrate?
They do not stand because the Lord has (E)thrust them down.
16 “They have repeatedly (F)stumbled;
Indeed, they have fallen one against another.
Then they said, ‘Get up! And (G)let us go back
To our own people and our native land
Away from the [a](H)sword of the oppressor.’
