Jeremiah 46:14-16
Evangelical Heritage Version
14 Declare this in Egypt. Proclaim it in Migdol.
Proclaim it in Memphis[a] and Tahpanhes.
Say, “Take your positions and get ready.
The sword is going to devour those around you.”
15 Why are your mighty ones laid low?[b]
They cannot stand, for the Lord has pushed them down.
16 He made many stumble.
They fall against each other.
They say, “Get up! Let’s go back to our people
and to the land of our birth,
away from the sword of our oppressor.”
