Jeremiah 46:17New International Reader's VersionThe Egyptian soldiers will cry out, ‘Pharaoh, our king, is only a loud noise. He has missed his chance to win the battle.’ See the chapter |
The men of Egypt are only human beings. They aren’t God. Their horses are only flesh and blood. They aren’t spirits. The Lord will reach out his powerful hand to punish everyone. The Egyptians provide help. But they will be tripped up. The people of Judah receive the help. But they will fall down. All of them will be destroyed.
“Which one of the trees of Eden can be compared with you? What tree is as glorious and majestic as you are? But you too will be brought down to the earth below. There you will join the trees of Eden. You will lie down with those who have not been circumcised. You will be among those who were killed by swords. “That is what will happen to Pharaoh and his huge armies,” announces the Lord and King.
