Jeremías 46:12

12 Las naciones ya saben de tu humillación;tus gritos llenan la tierra.Un guerrero tropieza contra otro,y juntos caen por tierra».

Jeremías 46:12 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 46:12

The nations have heard of thy shame
Their shameful defeat and overthrow by the Chaldean army; so, after the manner of prophecy, the thing is related as done; the battle fought, and the victory obtained; and the rumour and fame of it spread among the nations, to the great mortification of this proud people: and thy cry hath filled the land;
the shrieks of the wounded; the cry of the pursued and taken; the lamentation of friends and relations for their dead; with one thing or another of this kind the whole land of Egypt was filled; yea, all the countries round about them, in confederacy with them, were filled with distress for the loss of their own; the calamity was large and spreading, and the rumour of it: for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, [and] they are
fallen both together;
either the mighty Egyptians against the mighty Chaldeans; and though the latter were the conquerors, yet lost abundance of men; so that there were mighty ones fell on both sides: or rather, as Jarchi, Kimchi, and Abarbinel, the mighty Egyptians in their flight fell, and other mighty ones of them following, stumbled at them, and fell upon them, and so both became a prey to the pursuers; or in their flight the mighty Egyptians stumbled against their mighty auxiliaries before mentioned, ( Jeremiah 46:9 ) ; and so both came into the hands of their enemies. The Targum is, both were slain.

Jeremías 46:12 In-Context

10 »Aquel día perteneceal Señor, al SEÑORTodopoderoso.Será un día de venganza;se vengará de sus enemigos.La espada devorará hasta saciarse;con sangre apagará su sed.En la tierra del norte,a orillas del río Éufrates,el Señor, el SEÑOR Todopoderoso,realizará una matanza.

11 »¡Virginal hija de Egipto,ve a Galaad y consigue bálsamo!En vano multiplicas los remedios;ya no sanarás.

12 Las naciones ya saben de tu humillación;tus gritos llenan la tierra.Un guerrero tropieza contra otro,y juntos caen por tierra».

13 Esta es la palabra del SEÑOR, que vino a Jeremías el profeta cuando Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, vino para atacar el país de Egipto:

14 «Anuncien esto en Egipto,proclámenlo en Migdol, Menfis y Tafnes:“¡A sus puestos! ¡Manténganse alerta!¡La espada devora a su alrededor!”
