Jeremiah 46 (NKJV)

¹ The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the nations. ² Concerning the army of Pharaoh Necho, king of Egypt, which was by the River Euphrates in Carchemish, and which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: ³ And draw near to battle! ⁴ Put on the armor! ⁵ For fear was all around,” says the Lord. ⁶ Toward the north, by the River Euphrates. ⁷ Whose waters move like the rivers? ⁸ I will destroy the city and its inhabitants.’ ⁹ And the Lydians who handle and bend the bow. ¹⁰ In the north country by the River Euphrates. ¹¹ You shall not be cured. ¹² They both have fallen together.” ¹³ The word that the Lord spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon would come and strike the land of Egypt. ¹⁴ For the sword devours all around you.’ ¹⁵ Because the Lord drove them away. ¹⁶ From the oppressing sword.’ ¹⁷ He has passed by the appointed time!’ ¹⁸ And as Carmel by the sea, so he shall come. ¹⁹ For Noph shall be waste and desolate, without inhabitant. ²⁰ But destruction comes, it comes from the north. ²¹ The time of their punishment. ²² Like those who chop wood. ²³ And more numerous than grasshoppers. ²⁴ Of the people of the north.” ²⁵ The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will bring punishment on Amon of No, and Pharaoh and Egypt, with their gods and their kings—Pharaoh and those who trust in him. ²⁶ And I will deliver them into the hand of those who seek their lives, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the hand of his servants. Afterward it shall be inhabited as in the days of old,” says the Lord. ²⁷ No one shall make him afraid. ²⁸ For I will not leave you wholly unpunished.”
