Jeremiah 46:2; Jeremiah 46:20; Jeremiah 46:24; Jeremiah 46:26

2 Concerning Egypt: This is the message against the army of Pharaoh Necho king of Egypt, which was defeated at Carchemish on the Euphrates River by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:

20 “Egypt is a beautiful heifer, but a gadfly is coming against her from the north.

24 Daughter Egypt will be put to shame, given into the hands of the people of the north.”

26 I will give them into the hands of those who want to kill them—Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and his officers. Later, however, Egypt will be inhabited as in times past,” declares the LORD.
