Jeremiah 46:15-17

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹⁵ Why have your strong ones been swept away?
Each has not stood,
for the Lord has thrust him down.
¹⁶ He continues to stumble.^(A)
Indeed, each falls over the other.
They say, ‘Get up! Let’s return to our people
and to our native land,
away from the oppressor’s sword.’^(B)
17 There they will cry out,
‘Pharaoh king of Egypt was all noise;
he let the opportune moment pass.’
