Jeremiah 46:14-16
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 the land of our birth, away from the sword that oppresses.”
