American Standard Version
Jeremiah 46:19-21
American Standard Version
19 [a]O thou daughter that dwellest in Egypt, [b]furnish thyself to go into captivity; for Memphis shall become a desolation, and shall be burnt up, without inhabitant. 20 Egypt is a very fair heifer; but [c]destruction out of the north is come, it is come. 21 Also her hired men in the midst of her are like calves of the stall; for they also are turned back, they are fled away together, they did not stand: for the day of their calamity is come upon them, the time of their visitation.

New International Version
Jeremiah 46:19-21
New International Version
19 Pack your belongings for exile,(A)
you who live in Egypt,
for Memphis(B) will be laid waste(C)
and lie in ruins without inhabitant.
20 “Egypt is a beautiful heifer,
but a gadfly is coming
against her from the north.(D)
21 The mercenaries(E) in her ranks
are like fattened calves.(F)
They too will turn and flee(G) together,
they will not stand their ground,
for the day(H) of disaster is coming upon them,
the time(I) for them to be punished.
