Jeremiah 46:18-26 As surely as I live," declares the king, whose name is the LORD of the Heavenly Armies. Indeed, one will come like Tabor among the mountains and like Carmel by the sea.

VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ As surely as I live," declares the king, whose name is the LORD of the Heavenly Armies. Indeed, one will come like Tabor among the mountains and like Carmel by the sea. ¹⁹ Prepare your baggage for exile, daughter living in Egypt, for Memphis will become a desolate place. It will become a ruin without inhabitant. ²⁰ Egypt is a very fair heifer; the gad-fly cometh, it cometh from the north. ²¹ "'Egypt's hired soldiers are like fattened calves. They will turn and run away together. They will not stand their ground. The day of destruction is coming. At that time they will be punished.' ²² Its sound is like a serpent's going, for they shall go in force, and come against her with axes, like woodcutters. ²³ "'They will cut down the forest,' declares the LORD, 'since Egypt cannot be found. They are more numerous than locusts. They cannot be counted. ²⁴ "'The people of Egypt will be put to shame. They will be handed over to the people from the north.' ²⁵ the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, said, "Look, I am going to punish Amon of Thebes, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, and her gods, and her kings, even Pharaoh and those who trust in him. ²⁶ I'll give them to those who are seeking their lives and to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and his officers. Then afterwards, Egypt will be inhabited as in times past," declares the LORD.
