Jeremiah 46:18-20

Contemporary English Version

¹⁸ Egypt, I am the true king,
    the Lord All-Powerful,
and as surely as I live,
those enemies who attack
    will tower over you
like Mount Tabor among the hills
    or Mount Carmel by the sea.
¹⁹ You will be led away captive,
so pack a few things
    to bring with you.
Your capital, Memphis,
    will lie empty and in ruins.

²⁰ An enemy from the north
will attack you, beautiful Egypt,
    like a fly biting a cow.
