Jeremiah 46:13-15

New Catholic Bible

¹³The word that the Lord spoke to the prophet Jeremiah in regard to the advance of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, to attack the land of Egypt:

¹⁴Announce it in Egypt and proclaim it in Migdol;
    proclaim it also in Noph and Tahpanhes.
Say, “Take your stations and be prepared,
    for the sword will devour those around you.”
¹⁵Why have your warriors been laid low?
    They were unable to stand
    because the Lord has thrust them down.
