1 The Lordspoke to me about the nations, 2 Is 19.1-25; Ez 29.1—32.32beginning with Egypt. This is what he said about the army of King Neco of Egypt, which King Nebuchadnezzarof Babyloniadefeated at Carchemishnear the Euphrates Riverin the fourth year that Jehoiakimwas king of Judah:
3 "The Egyptian officers shout,
‘Get your shields ready
and march into battle!
4 Harness your horses and mount them!
Fall in line and put on your helmets!
Sharpen your spears!
Put on your armor!’
5 "But what do I see?" asks the Lord.
"They are turning back in terror.
Their soldiers are beaten back;
overcome with fear, they run as fast as they can
and do not look back.
6 Those who run fast cannot get away;
the soldiers cannot escape.
In the north, by the Euphrates,
they stumble and fall.
7 Who is this that rises like the Nile,
like a river flooding its banks?
8 It is Egypt, rising like the Nile,
like a river flooding its banks.
Egyptsaid, ‘I will rise and cover the world;
I will destroy cities and the people who live there.
9 Command the horses to go
and the chariots to roll!
Send out the soldiers:
men from Ethiopia46.9: Hebrew Cush: Cush is the ancient name of the extensive territory south of the First Cataract of the Nile River. This region was called Ethiopia in Graeco-Roman times, and included within its borders most of modern Sudan and some of present-day Ethiopia (Abyssinia).and Libya, carrying shields,
and skilled archers from Lydia.’"
10 This is the day of the Sovereign LordAlmighty:
today he will take revenge;
today he will punish his enemies.
His sword will eat them until it is full,
and drink their blood until it is satisfied.
Today the Almighty sacrifices his victims
in the north, by the Euphrates.
11 People of Egypt, go to Gilead46.11: Gilead: See 8.22.
and look for medicine!
All your medicine has proved useless;
nothing can heal you.
12 Nations have heard of your shame;
everyone has heard you cry.
One soldier trips over another,
and both of them fall to the ground.
The Coming of Nebuchadnezzar
13 Jr 43.10-13When King Nebuchadnezzarof Babyloniacame to attack Egypt, the Lordspoke to me. He said,
14 "Proclaim it in the towns of Egypt,
in Migdol, Memphis, and Tahpanhes:
‘Get ready to defend yourselves;
all you have will be destroyed in war!
15 Why has your mighty god Apis fallen?
The Lordhas struck him down!’
16 Your soldiers have stumbled and fallen;46.16: Probable text Your soldiers … fallen; Hebrew unclear.
each one says to the other,
‘Hurry! Let’s go home to our people
and escape the enemy’s sword!’
17 "Give the king of Egypta new name—
‘Noisy Braggart Who Missed His Chance.’
18 I, the LordAlmighty, am king.
I am the living God.
As Mount Tabortowers above the mountains
and Mount Carmelstands high above the sea,
so will be the strength of the one who attacks you.
19 Get ready to be taken prisoner,
you people of Egypt!
Memphiswill be made a desert,
a ruin where no one lives.
20 Egyptis like a splendid cow,
attacked by a stinging fly from the north.
21 Even her hired soldiers
are helpless as calves.
They did not stand and fight;
all of them turned and ran.
The day of their doom had arrived,
the time of their destruction.
22 Egyptruns away, hissing like a snake,
as the enemy’s army approaches.
They attack her with axes,
like people cutting down trees
23 and destroying a thick forest.
Their soldiers are too many to count;
they outnumber the locusts.
24 The people of Egyptare put to shame;
they are conquered by the people of the north.
I, the Lord, have spoken."
25 The LordAlmighty, the God of Israel, says, "I am going to punish Amon, the god of Thebes, together with Egyptand its gods and kings. I am going to take the king of Egyptand all who put their trust in him, 26 and hand them over to those who want to kill them, to King Nebuchadnezzarof Babyloniaand his army. But later on, people will live in Egyptagain, as they did in times past. I, the Lord, have spoken.
The Lord Will Save His People
27 Jr 30.10,11"My people, do not be afraid,
people of Israel, do not be terrified.
I will rescue you from that faraway land,
from the land where you are prisoners.
You will come back home and live in peace;
you will be secure, and no one will make you afraid.
28 I will come to you and save you.
I will destroy all the nations
where I have scattered you,
but I will not destroy you.
I will not let you go unpunished;
but when I punish you, I will be fair.
I, the Lord, have spoken."
