Jeremiah 46:16-18

Tree of Life Version

¹⁶ They keep stumbling,
yes, falling over each other.
Then they said: ‘Get up!
Let’s return to our own people,
to the land of our birth,
away from the oppressor’s sword.’
¹⁷ They cried there:
‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise!
He let the opportune time pass.’
¹⁸ As I live,” declares the King
—whose Name is Adonai-Tzva’ot—
“like Tabor among the mountains,
or like Carmel by the sea,
so surely he will come.”
