YirmeYahu 46:13-28
YirmeYahu 46:13 The word which יהוה spoke to Yirmeyahu HaNavi, about the coming of Neḇuḵaḏretstsar sovereign of Baḇel, to smite the land of Mitsrayim:
YirmeYahu 46:14 “Declare in Mitsrayim, and let it be heard in Miḡdol. And let it be heard in Noph and in Taḥpanḥes. Say, ‘Stand fast and be prepared, for a sword shall devour all around you.’
YirmeYahu 46:15 “Why were your strong men swept away? They did not stand because יהוה drove them away.
YirmeYahu 46:16 “He made many stumble; indeed, they fell over each other, and said, ‘Arise! Let us go back to our own people, and to the land of our birth, away from the oppressing sword.’
YirmeYahu 46:17 “There they cried, ‘Pharaoh, sovereign of Mitsrayim, is but a noise. He has let the appointed time pass by!’
YirmeYahu 46:18 “As I live,” declares the Sovereign, whose Name is יהוה of hosts, “For as Taḇor is among the mountains, and as Karmel by the sea, he shall come.
YirmeYahu 46:19 “O you daughter dwelling in Mitsrayim, prepare yourself to go into exile! For Noph shall become a waste and a ruin, and be burned, without inhabitant.
YirmeYahu 46:20 “Mitsrayim is like a very pretty heifer, but destruction comes, it comes from the north.
YirmeYahu 46:21 “Her hired ones too, in her midst, are like fattened calves, for they too shall turn, they shall flee away together. They shall not stand, for the day of their calamity has come upon them, the time of their punishment.
YirmeYahu 46:22 “Its sound moves along like a serpent, for they move on like an army and come against her with axes, like woodcutters.
YirmeYahu 46:23 “They shall cut down her forest,” declares יהוה, “for it is not searched, because they are more numerous than locusts, and without number.
YirmeYahu 46:24 “The daughter of Mitsrayim shall be put to shame. She shall be given into the hand of the people of the north.”
YirmeYahu 46:25 יהוה of hosts, the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, has said, “See, I am bringing punishment on Amon of No, and on Pharaoh, and on Mitsrayim, and on their mighty ones, and on their sovereigns, and on Pharaoh and on those trusting in him.
YirmeYahu 46:26 “And I shall give them into the hand of those who seek their lives, into the hand of Neḇuḵaḏretstsar sovereign of Baḇel and into the hand of his servants. And afterward it shall be inhabited as in the days of old,” declares יהוה.
YirmeYahu 46:27 “But as for you, do not fear, O My servant Ya`akov̱, and do not be discouraged, O Yisra’ĕl! For look, I am saving you from afar, and your descendants from the land of their captivity. And Ya`akov̱ shall return, and shall have rest and be at ease, with no one disturbing.
YirmeYahu 46:28 “Do not fear, O Ya`akov̱ My servant,” declares יהוה, “for I am with you. Though I make a complete end of all the gentiles to which I have driven you, yet I do not make a complete end of you1. But I shall reprove you in right-ruling, and by no means leave you unpunished.” Footnote: 1See 46:28, Isa. 34:2, Isa. 45:17, Dan. 2:44, Amos 9:8, Hag. 2:22.
