46.24 :The daughter of Egypt is put to shame;
 * She is delivered into the hand of the people of the north.

The of hosts, the God of Israel, saith: Behold, I will punish Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with her gods, and her kings; even Pharaoh, and them that trust in him; and I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants; and afterwards it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith the.


 * But fear not thou, O Jacob My servant,
 * Neither be dismayed, O Israel;
 * For, lo, I will save thee from afar,
 * And thy seed from the land of their captivity;
 * And Jacob shall again be quiet and at ease,
 * And none shall make him afraid.
 * Fear not thou, O Jacob My servant, saith the ,
 * For I am with thee;
 * For I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee,
 * But I will not make a full end of thee;
 * And I will correct thee in measure,
 * But will not utterly destroy thee.

The word of the that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before that Pharaoh smote Gaza.


 * Thus saith the :
 * Behold, waters rise up out of the north,
 * And shall become an overflowing stream,
 * And they shall overflow the land and all that is therein,
 * The city and them that dwell therein;
 * And the men shall cry,
 * And all the inhabitants of the land shall wail.
 * At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong ones,
 * At the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of his wheels,
 * The fathers look not back to their children
 * For feebleness of hands;
 * Because of the day that cometh
 * To spoil all the Philistines,
 * To cut off from Tyre and Zidon
 * Every helper that remaineth;
 * For the will spoil the Philistines,
 * The remnant of the isle of Caphtor.
 * Baldness is come upon Gaza,
 * Ashkelon is brought to nought, the remnant of their valley;
 * How long wilt thou cut thyself?
 * O thou sword of the ,
 * How long will it be ere thou be quiet?
 * Put up thyself into thy scabbard,
 * Rest, and be still.
 * How canst thou be quiet?
 * For the hath given it a charge;
 * Against Ashkelon, and against the sea-shore,
 * There hath He appointed it.

Of Moab.


 * Thus saith the of hosts, the God of Israel:
 * Woe unto Nebo! for it is spoiled;
 * Kiriathaim is put to shame, it is taken;
 * Misgab is put to shame and dismayed.
 * The praise of Moab is no more;
