Jeremiah 46:16-18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
16 he stumbled repeatedly then collapsed.
They said to each other,
“Get up! We must return to our own people,
To the land of our birth,
away from the destroying sword.”(A)
17 Give Pharaoh, king of Egypt, the name
“Braggart-missed-his-chance.”[a]
18 As I live, says the King
whose name is Lord of hosts,
Like Tabor above mountains,
like Carmel[b] above the sea, he comes.
