Jeremiah 46:16-18

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁶ They will stumble again and again.
    They will fall over each other.
They will say, ‘Get up; let’s go back to our own people.
    Let us go back to our homeland.
Our enemy is defeating us.
    We must get away.’
¹⁷ In their homelands, those soldiers will say,
    ‘Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, is only a lot of noise.
    His time of glory is over.’”
¹⁸ This message is from the King.
    The King is the Lord All-Powerful.
“I promise, as surely as I live, a powerful leader will come.
    He will be like Mount Tabor or Mount Carmel among smaller mountains.
