Jeremiah 46:15-17

Common English Bible

¹⁵ Why have your mighty fallen?
    Why haven’t they stood their ground?
        Because the Lord has struck them down.
¹⁶ He’s tripped them up;
    they fall over each other and say,
    “Let’s get out of here
        and go home to our people,
        where we were born,
        far away from the oppressor’s sword.”^[a]
17 There they call Pharaoh, Egypt’s king,
    Loudmouth—Nothing But Hot Air!
