The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 which came to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 against the GentilesH1471;
Against EgyptH4714, against the armyH2428 of PharaohnechoH6549 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, which was by the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578 in CarchemishH3751, which NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 smoteH5221 in the fourthH7243 yearH8141 of JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063.
OrderH6186 ye the bucklerH4043 and shieldH6793, and draw nearH5066 to battleH4421.
HarnessH631 the horsesH5483; and get upH5927, ye horsemenH6571, and stand forthH3320 with your helmetsH3553; furbishH4838 the spearsH7420, and put onH3847 the brigandinesH5630.
Wherefore have I seenH7200 them dismayedH2844 and turnedH5472 away backH268? and their mighty onesH1368 are beaten downH3807, and are fledH5127 apaceH4498, and look not backH6437: for fearH4032 was round aboutH5439, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {beaten…: Heb. broken in pieces} {fled…: Heb. fled a flight}
Let not the swiftH7031 flee awayH5127, nor the mighty manH1368 escapeH4422; they shall stumbleH3782, and fallH5307 toward the northH6828 byH3027 the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578.
Who is this that cometh upH5927 as a floodH2975, whose watersH4325 are movedH1607 as the riversH5104?
EgyptH4714 riseth upH5927 like a floodH2975, and his watersH4325 are movedH1607 like the riversH5104; and he saithH559, I will go upH5927, and will coverH3680 the earthH776; I will destroyH6 the cityH5892 and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof.
Come upH5927, ye horsesH5483; and rageH1984, ye chariotsH7393; and let the mighty menH1368 come forthH3318; the EthiopiansH3568 and the LibyansH6316, that handleH8610 the shieldH4043; and the LydiansH3866, that handleH8610 and bendH1869 the bowH7198. {the Ethiopians: Heb. Cush} {the Libyans: Heb. Put}
For this is the dayH3117 of the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635, a dayH3117 of vengeanceH5360, that he may avengeH5358 him of his adversariesH6862: and the swordH2719 shall devourH398, and it shall be satiateH7646 and made drunkH7301 with their bloodH1818: for the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 hath a sacrificeH2077 in the northH6828 countryH776 by the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578.
Go upH5927 into GileadH1568, and takeH3947 balmH6875, O virginH1330, the daughterH1323 of EgyptH4714: in vainH7723 shalt thou use manyH7235 medicinesH7499; for thou shalt not be curedH8585. {thou shalt…: Heb. no cure shall be unto thee}
The nationsH1471 have heardH8085 of thy shameH7036, and thy cryH6682 hath filledH4390 the landH776: for the mighty manH1368 hath stumbledH3782 against the mightyH1368, and they are fallenH5307 bothH8147 togetherH3162.
The wordH1697 that the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, how NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 should comeH935 and smiteH5221 the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
DeclareH5046 ye in EgyptH4714, and publishH8085 in MigdolH4024, and publishH8085 in NophH5297 and in TahpanhesH8471: sayH559 ye, Stand fastH3320, and prepareH3559 thee; for the swordH2719 shall devourH398 round aboutH5439 thee.
Why are thy valiantH47 men swept awayH5502? they stoodH5975 not, because the LORDH3068 did driveH1920 them.
He made manyH7235 to fallH3782, yea, oneH376 fellH5307 upon anotherH7453: and they saidH559, AriseH6965, and let us go againH7725 to our own peopleH5971, and to the landH776 of our nativityH4138, fromH6440 the oppressingH3238 swordH2719. {made…: Heb. multiplied the faller}
They did cryH7121 there, PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 is but a noiseH7588; he hath passedH5674 the time appointedH4150.
As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the KingH4428, whose nameH8034 is the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, Surely as TaborH8396 is among the mountainsH2022, and as CarmelH3760 by the seaH3220, so shall he comeH935.
O thou daughterH1323 dwellingH3427 in EgyptH4714, furnishH6213 thyself to go into captivityH3627+H1473: for NophH5297 shall be wasteH8047 and desolateH3341 without an inhabitantH3427. {furnish…: Heb. make thee instruments of captivity}
EgyptH4714 is like a very fairH3304 heiferH5697, but destructionH7171 comethH935; it cometh outH935 of the northH6828.
Also her hired menH7916 are in the midstH7130 of her like fattedH4770 bullocksH5695; for they also are turned backH6437, and are fled awayH5127 togetherH3162: they did not standH5975, because the dayH3117 of their calamityH343 was comeH935 upon them, and the timeH6256 of their visitationH6486. {fatted…: Heb. bullocks of the stall}
The voiceH6963 thereof shall goH3212 like a serpentH5175; for they shall marchH3212 with an armyH2428, and comeH935 against her with axesH7134, as hewersH2404 of woodH6086.
They shall cut downH3772 her forestH3293, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, though it cannot be searchedH2713; because they are moreH7231 than the grasshoppersH697, and are innumerableH369+H4557.
The daughterH1323 of EgyptH4714 shall be confoundedH3001; she shall be deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the peopleH5971 of the northH6828.
The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saithH559; Behold, I will punishH6485 the multitudeH527+H528 of NoH4996, and PharaohH6547, and EgyptH4714, with their godsH430, and their kingsH4428; even PharaohH6547, and all them that trustH982 in him: {multitude: or, nourisher: Heb. Amon}
And I will deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of those that seekH1245 their livesH5315, and into the handH3027 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and into the handH3027 of his servantsH5650: and afterwardH310 it shall be inhabitedH7931, as in the daysH3117 of oldH6924, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
But fearH3372 not thou, O my servantH5650 JacobH3290, and be not dismayedH2865, O IsraelH3478: for, behold, I will saveH3467 thee from afar offH7350, and thy seedH2233 from the landH776 of their captivityH7628; and JacobH3290 shall returnH7725, and be in restH8252 and at easeH7599, and none shall make him afraidH2729.
FearH3372 thou not, O JacobH3290 my servantH5650, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: for I am with thee; for I will makeH6213 a full endH3617 of all the nationsH1471 whither I have drivenH5080 thee: but I will not makeH6213 a full endH3617 of thee, but correctH3256 thee in measureH4941; yet will I not leave thee whollyH5352 unpunishedH5352. {not leave…: or, not utterly cut thee off}

SpeakH1696, and sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I am against thee, PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, the greatH1419 dragonH8577 that liethH7257 in the midstH8432 of his riversH2975, which hath saidH559, My riverH2975 is mine own, and I have madeH6213 it for myself.
The enemyH341 saidH559, I will pursueH7291, I will overtakeH5381, I will divideH2505 the spoilH7998; my lustH5315 shall be satisfiedH4390 upon them; I will drawH7324 my swordH2719, my handH3027 shall destroyH3423 them. {destroy: or, repossess}
SonH1121 of manH120, take upH5375 a lamentationH7015 for PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and sayH559 unto him, Thou art likeH1819 a young lionH3715 of the nationsH1471, and thou art as a whaleH8577+H8565 in the seasH3220: and thou camest forthH1518 with thy riversH5104, and troubledstH1804 the watersH4325 with thy feetH7272, and fouledstH7515 their riversH5104. {whale: or, dragon}
Thou didst blowH5398 with thy windH7307, the seaH3220 coveredH3680 them: they sankH6749 as leadH5777 in the mightyH117 watersH4325.
For he saithH559, By the strengthH3581 of my handH3027 I have doneH6213 it, and by my wisdomH2451; for I am prudentH995: and I have removedH5493 the boundsH1367 of the peopleH5971, and have robbedH8154 their treasuresH6259+H6264, and I have put downH3381 the inhabitantsH3427 like a valiantH47+H3524 man: {a valiant…: or, many people}
And my handH3027 hath foundH4672 as a nestH7064 the richesH2428 of the peopleH5971: and as one gatherethH622 eggsH1000 that are leftH5800, have I gatheredH622 all the earthH776; and there was none that movedH5074 the wingH3671, or openedH6475 the mouthH6310, or peepedH6850.
Shall the axeH1631 boastH6286 itself against him that hewethH2672 therewith? or shall the sawH4883 magnifyH1431 itself against him that shakethH5130 it? as if the rodH7626 should shakeH5130 itself against them that lift it upH7311, or as if the staffH4294 should lift upH7311 itself, as if it were no woodH6086. {the rod…: or, a rod should shake them that lift it up} {itself, as if…: or, that which is not wood}
Therefore shall the LordH113, the LordH136+H3068 of hostsH6635, sendH7971 among his fat onesH4924 leannessH7332; and under his gloryH3519 he shall kindleH3344 a burningH3350 like the burning of a fireH784.
ByH3027 thy servantsH5650 hast thou reproachedH2778 the LordH136, and hast saidH559, By the multitudeH7230 of my chariotsH7393 am I come upH5927 to the heightH4791 of the mountainsH2022, to the sidesH3411 of LebanonH3844; and I will cut downH3772 the tallH6967 cedarsH730 thereof, and the choiceH4005 fir treesH1265 thereof: and I will enterH935 into the heightH4791 of his borderH7093, and the forestH3293 of his CarmelH3760. {By thy…: Heb.

I have diggedH6979, and drunkH8354 waterH4325; and with the soleH3709 of my feetH6471 have I dried upH2717 all the riversH2975 of the besieged placesH4693. {besieged: or, fenced and closed}
Hast thou not heardH8085 long agoH7350, how I have doneH6213 it; and of ancientH6924 timesH3117, that I have formedH3335 it? now have I broughtH935 it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay wasteH7582 defencedH1219 citiesH5892 into ruinousH5327 heapsH1530. {Hast…: or, Hast thou not heard how I have made it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? should I now bring it to be laid waste, and defenced cities to be ruinous heaps?}
