Jeremiah 46:3 · BSB
The verses around it, from Jeremiah 46.
1 This is the word of the LORD about the nations—the word that came to Jeremiah the prophet
2 concerning Egypt and the army of Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt, which was defeated at Carchemish on the Euphrates River by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah:
3 “Deploy your shields, small and large; advance for battle!
4 Harness the horses; mount the steeds; take your positions with helmets on! Polish your spears; put on armor!
5 Why am I seeing this? They are terrified, they are retreating; their warriors are defeated, they flee in haste without looking back; terror is on every side!” declares the LORD.
6 “The swift cannot flee, and the warrior cannot escape! In the north by the River Euphrates they stumble and fall.
7 Who is this, rising like the Nile, like rivers whose waters churn?
