Jeremiah 46:15-17
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
15 Why has Apis fled?[a]
Why did your bull not stand?
—because the Lord thrust him down.
16 Your multitude stumbled[b] and fell,
and one said to another,[c]
“Come, let us go back to our own people
and to the land of our birth,
because of the destroying sword.”
17 Give Pharaoh, king of Egypt, the name
“Braggart who missed his chance.”
