Jeremiah 46:10-19

That day belongs to the Lord, the  God of Armies, a day of vengeance to avenge himself against his adversaries. The sword will devour and be satisfied; it will drink its fill of their blood, because it will be a sacrifice  to the Lord, the  God of Armies, in the northern land by the Euphrates River.  Go up to Gilead and get balm,  Virgin Daughter Egypt! You have multiplied remedies in vain; there is no healing for you. The nations have heard of your dishonor,  and your cries fill the earth, because warrior stumbles against warrior and together both of them have fallen. This is the word the Lord spoke to the prophet Jeremiah about the coming of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon to defeat the land of Egypt:  Announce it in Egypt, and proclaim it in Migdol!  Proclaim it in Memphis and in Tahpanhes! Say, “Take positions! Prepare yourself, for the sword devours all around you.”  Why have your strong ones been swept away? Each has not stood, for the Lord has thrust him down. He continues to stumble.  Indeed, each falls over the other. They say, “Get up! Let’s return to our people and to our native land, away from the oppressor’s sword.”  There they will cry out, “Pharaoh king of Egypt was all noise; he let the opportune moment pass.” As I live — this is the King’s declaration; the Lord of Armies is his name   — the king of Babylon  will come like Tabor among the mountains and like Carmel by the sea. Get your bags ready for exile, inhabitant of Daughter Egypt!  For Memphis will become a desolation, uninhabited ruins.
