Context Reading
13The word that Yahweh spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon should come and strike the land of Egypt: 14“Declare in Egypt,publish in Migdol,and publish in Memphis and in Tahpanhes;say, ‘Stand up, and prepare,for the sword has devoured around you.’ 15Why are your strong ones swept away?They didn’t stand, because Yahweh pushed them. 16He made many to stumble.Yes, they fell on one another.They said, ‘Arise! Let’s go again to our own people,and to the land of our birth,from the oppressing sword.’ 17They cried there, ‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise;he has let the appointed time pass by.’
