Jeremiah 46
1The
2Of 1
3“ Prepare 2 and draw near to battle! 1
4Harness the 2 and stand up with your helmets. 1 Polish the spears, 2 put on the coats of mail. 1
5Why 2 They are dismayed and are turned backward. 1 Their mighty ones are beaten down, 2 have fled in haste, 2 and don’t look back. 1 Terror is on every side,” 2 says the LORD. 1
6“Don’t let the 2 nor the mighty man escape. 1 In the north by the river Euphrates 2 they have stumbled and fallen. 1
7“ Who 2 like rivers whose waters surge? 1
8Egypt 2 like rivers whose waters surge. 1 He says, ‘ I will rise up. I will cover the earth. 2 I will destroy cities and its inhabitants.’ 1
9Go 2 Rage, you chariots! 1 Let the mighty men go out: 2 Cush and Put, who handle the shield; 2 and the Ludim, who handle and bend the bow. 1
10For 2 a day of vengeance, 2 that he may avenge himself of his adversaries. 1 The sword will devour and be satiated, 2 and will drink its fill of their blood; 2 for the Lord, GOD + 46:10 When rendered in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, “LORD” or “GOD” is the translation of God’s Proper Name (Hebrew “ יהוה”, usually pronounced Yahweh). of Armies, has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates. 1
11Go 2 You use many medicines in vain. 2 There is no healing for you. 1
12The 2 and the earth is full of your cry; 2 for the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty, 2 they both fall together.”

14“ Declare 2 publish in Migdol, 2 and publish in Memphis and in Tahpanhes; 1 say, ‘ Stand up, and prepare, 2 for the sword has devoured around you.’ 1
15Why 2 They didn’t stand, because the LORD pushed them. 1
16He 2 Yes, they fell on one another. 1 They said, ‘ Arise! Let’s go again to our own people, 2 and to the land of our birth, 2 from the oppressing sword.’ 1
17They 2 he has let the appointed time pass by.’ 1
18“ As 2 whose name is the LORD of Armies, 1 “ surely like Tabor amongst the mountains, 2 and like Carmel by the sea, 2 so he will come. 1
19You 2 furnish yourself to go into captivity; 1 for Memphis will become a desolation, 2 and will be burnt up, 2 without inhabitant. 1
20“ Egypt 2 but destruction out of the north has come. 2 It has come. 1
21Also 2 for they also are turned back. 2 They have fled away together. 1 They didn’t stand, 2 for the day of their calamity has come on them, 2 the time of their visitation. 1
22Its 2 for they will march with an army, 2 and come against her with axes, as wood cutters. 1
23They 2 “ though it can’t be searched; 1 because they are more than the locusts, 2 and are innumerable. 1
24The 2 she will be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.”

27“ But 2 Don’t be dismayed, Israel; 1 for, behold, I will save you from afar, 2 and your offspring from the land of their captivity. 1 Jacob will return, 2 and will be quiet and at ease. 2 No one will make him afraid. 1
28Don’t be 2 “ for I am with you; 2 for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven you, 1 but I will not make a full end of you, 2 but I will correct you in measure, 2 and will in no way leave you unpunished.”
