Jeremiah 46:17-19

New Century Version

¹⁷In their homelands those soldiers called out,
‘The king of Egypt is only a lot of noise.
He missed his chance for glory!’”

¹⁸The King’s name is the Lord All-Powerful.
    He says, “As surely as I live,
a powerful leader will come.
    He will be like Mount Tabor among the mountains,
    like Mount Carmel by the sea.
¹⁹People of Egypt, pack your things
    to be taken away as captives,
because Memphis will be destroyed.
    It will be a ruin, and no one will live there.
