13 The word Yah Veh worded to Yirme Yah the prophet - concerning the coming of Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel and smiting the land of Misrayim:
14 Tell it in Misrayim and have them hear in Migdol; and have them hear in Noph and in Tachpanches! Say, Stand fast and prepare! For the sword consumes all around you!
15 Why are your mighty swept away? They stand not because Yah Veh exiles them.
16 He abounds the falterer; yes, man fells friend: and they say, We rise and return to our own people and to the land of our kindred from the face of the oppressing sword.
17 And there they call out, Paroh sovereign of Misrayim is but an uproar; his season has passed.
18 I live - an oracle of the Sovereign whose name is Yah Veh Sabaoth, Surely as Tabor is among the mountains and as Karmel/orchard by the sea, thus he comes.
19 O you daughter settling in Misrayim, work vessels for yourself to go into exile: for Noph becomes desolate and burns without a settler:
20 Misrayim is as a very beautiful heifer: extermination comes - comes from the north:
21 even her hirelings are among her as fatted calves; for they also turn face: they flee together; they stand not: because the day of their calamity comes on them - the time of their visitation.
22 Its voice comes as a serpent; for they march with the valiant and come against her with axes - as choppers of timber:
23 they cut down her forest - an oracle of Yah Veh though it cannot be probed; because they abound by the myriads above the grasshoppers - innumerable.
24 The daughter of Misrayim shames; she is given into the hand of the people of the north.
25 Yah Veh Sabaoth Elohim of Yisra El, says; Behold, I visit on the multitude of No and Paroh and Misrayim with their elohim, and their sovereigns; even Paroh, and they who confide in him:
26 and I give them into the hand of them who seek their souls, and into the hand of Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel, and into the hand of his servants: and afterward they tabernacled therein as in the ancient days - an oracle of Yah Veh.
