13 The word which Jehovah spake to Jeremiah the prophet, for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel to come to strike the land of Egypt
14 Announce ye in Egypt, and cause to be heard in the tower, and cause to be heard in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say ye, Stand, and prepare for thyself; for the sword consumed round about thee.
15 Wherefore were thy powerful cast down, not to stand? for Jehovah thrust them away.
16 He multiplied the faltering, also a man fell to his neighbor: and they will say, Arise, and we will turn back to our people, and to the land of our birth, from the face of the oppressing sword.
17 They called there, Pharaoh king of Egypt an uproar; he passed by the appointment
18 I live, says the King, Jehovah of armies his name, For as Tabor in the mountains, and as Carmel in the sea, he shall come.
19 Make to thee instruments of captivity, thou daughter dwelling in Egypt: for Noph shall be for a waste and desolate from not being inhabited.
20 Egypt a heifer, fair of mouth; destruction came; from the north it came.
21 Also her hirelings in the midst of her as calves of the stall; for also they turned, they fled together: they stood not, for the day of their calamity came upon them, the time of their reviewing.
22 Her voice shall go as the serpent; for with an army in the sand they shall go, and with axes they came to her, as they hewing wood.
23 They cut down her forest, says Jehovah, for it shall not be searched out, for they were many above the locust, and no number to them.
24 The daughter of Egypt was ashamed; she was given into the hand of the people of the north.
25 Jehovah of armies, God of Israel, said, Behold me reviewing for the multitude of No, and upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt, and upon her gods, and upon her kings; and upon Pharaoh and upon those trusting in him:
26 And I gave them into the hand of those seeking their souls, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babel, and into the hand of his servants: and after this she shall be inhabited as the days of old, says Jehovah.
