RF JER 46:1 A Warning to the Egyptian Army.
The message of the EVER-LIVING to Jeremiah the Preacher about the Heathen, and to the Mitzeraim,
RF JER 46:2 about the army of Pharoh Neko, king of the Mitzeraim, when it advanced to the River Frath 1 to Karkemish, where Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel, defeated him in the fourth year of Jhoiakim-ben-Joshiah, king of Judah.
RF JER 46:3 The Burden of Pharoh:
PHAROH.—
"Array with the Buckler and Shield!
And march out for the war!
RF JER 46:4 Saddle your horses,—and cavalry mount;
Don your helmets; sharpen your spears,
Gird on your coats of mail!
RF JER 46:5 What do I see? They fear and turn back!
The heroes are routed! They fly! They fly!
They return not, and terror surrounds,"
Says the LORD.
RF JER 46:6 "The swift cannot fly, nor the mighty escape,
In the North, on the banks of the Frath,1
Where they stumble and fall!
RF JER 46:7 "Who is this, like a river that rises?
Like torrents that roll out their waves?
RF JER 46:8 It is Mitzer that floods like her river,—
And her torrents that roll out their waves!
Cries, 'I rise! I will cover the earth,
I will sweep off the town and its people.'"
RF JER 46:9 "Let cavalry mount, and the chariots rush,
And charge with the heroes of Kush;
And of Put that can handle the shield,
And the Ludim who draw leaping bows;
RF JER 46:10 For this is the day of the Great LORD OF HOSTS,
To-day He will punish—will punish His foes!
Now sword devour and be gorged,
And become drunken with blood;
For the great LORD OF HOSTS has a slaughter,
In the north, on the banks of the Frath.
RF JER 46:11 THE PROPHET.—
Go to Gilad, and gather you balm,
You poor girl, the daughter of Mitzer!
In vain you will multiply medicines,
For there is no cure for you!
RF JER 46:12 The nations have heard of your shame,
And the earth is filled full of your wailings;
For hero on hero has stumbled,
And both have together rolled down
RF JER 46:13 The message which the LORD commanded to Jeremiah the Preacher on the arrival of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babel, to conquer the land of the Mitzeraim.
RF JER 46:14 The Second Burden of Egypt.
"Tell it to Egypt, proclaim it in Migdol,
Report it to Noph, and to Thakhafanes;
Say, Stand up and make yourselves ready,
For the sword is devouring around!
RF JER 46:15 Why is your Leader swept off?
When the LORD drove him, how could he stand?
RF JER 46:16 The crowd jostled and fell on each other;
Cried, 'Arise! and return to our homes,—
And our land from the sword's cruel face!'
RF JER 46:17 'Mitzer's king, Pharoh,' they cry, 'is a sound,—
The time for his chance has gone by.'
RF JER 46:18 By my life!" says the King named JEHOVAH OF HOSTS,
"How like Thabor he stood in the hills,
And as Karmel went out to the sea!"
RF JER 46:19 Oh! make yourself ready for capture,
You who dwell with the daughter of Mitzer!
For Noph shall become as a desert,
And none shall dwell in it for ever!
RF JER 46:20 O beautiful heifer of Mitzer!
The wasp from the north will come in,
RF JER 46:21 When your hirelings, like calves in a stall,
Will turn, and together fly off,—
Not stand, for their day of fear comes,
The time of their dread upon them.
RF JER 46:22 Her voice like a serpent goes forth;
For with powerful axes they march,
Come to her like hewers of trees.
RF JER 46:23 "They will cut down her wood," says the LORD,
"Though uncounted, and more than the locusts,—
And no one can ever count them!
RF JER 46:24 "They will outrage the daughter of Mitzer,
By the hand of the men of the North!"
RF JER 46:25 Says the LORD GOD OF HOSTS, and of Israel.
"I will Myself punish Amon and No,
With Pharoh, and all Mitzer's gods;—
Her king Pharoh, and all trusting him,
RF JER 46:26 Are led bound by those seeking their life,—
To Babel's king Nebuchadnezzar,
And to the hand of his slaves.
But after that time she shall rest,
As in the old times," says the LORD!
RF JER 46:27 "But you, fear not, My servant Jacob,
And Israel be not afraid!
For I will save you from afar,
And your race from the land that enslaved!
And Jacob shall rest undisturbed,
And be quiet without any fear.
RF JER 46:28 Fear not for yourself," says the LORD,
"I am with you, O My servant Jacob;
Though I will destroy all the heathen
To whom I have driven you away,
But of you I will not make an end;
But only correct you with justice,
And the guiltless I will not afflict."
