Jeremiah 46:18 Context
16He made many to fall, yea one fell vpon another, and they said, Arise, and let vs goe againe to our owne people, and to the land of our natiuitie, from the oppressing sword. 17They did crie there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise, he hath passed the time appointed. 18As I liue, saith the King, whose Name is the Lord of hostes, Surely as Tabor is among the mountaines, and as Carmel by the Sea, so shall hee come. 19Oh thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish thy selfe to goe into captiuitie: for Noph shalbe waste and desolate without an inhabitant. 20Egypt is like a very faire heifer, but destruction commeth: it commeth out of the North.
