Jeremiah 46:19-21
Contemporary English Version
Jeremiah 46:19-21
Contemporary English Version
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.
21 The foreign soldiers you hired
will turn and run.
But they are doomed,
like well-fed calves
being led to the butcher.

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.
