Jeremiah 46:24

The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded
Brought to shame before all the nations of the earth, being conquered by the Chaldeans; that is, the kingdom of Egypt, as the Targum; or the inhabitants of it, being subdued and carried captive: she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north;
the Chaldeans, who dwelt northward of Egypt, as is manifest from what follows.
