1The word of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) which came to Yirmeyahu [whom Yehovah has appointed] the prophet against the Gentiles;

2Against Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], against the army of Pharaoh N’kho [great house - he is smitten] king of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], which was by the river Euphrates (to break forth, to gush) in Kark’mish [fortress of Chemosh (subdue)], which N’vukhadretzar [may Nebo protect the crown] king of Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion] struck in the fourth year of Y’hoyakim [Yehovah raises up] the son of Yoshiyahu [whom Yehovah heals] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised].

3Order you^2f the buckler (round shielf held with a grip) and shield, and draw near to battle.

4Harness the horses; and get up, you^2f horsemen, and stand forth with [your] helmets; furbish (rub, scour or polish until bright) the spears, [and] put on the brigandines.

5For what reason have I seen them dismayed [and] turned away back? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled apace (at a quick pace; quickly), and look not back: [for] fear [was] round about, says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

6Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they shall stumble, and fall to (to do entirely, do wholly)ward (in custody, with a guard; prison) the north by the river Euphrates (to break forth, to gush).

7Who [is] this [that] comes up as a flood, whose waters are moved as the rivers?

8Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] rises up like a flood, and [his] waters are moved like the rivers; and he says, I will go up, [and] will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.

9Come up, you^2f horses; and rage, you^2f chariots; and let the mighty men come forth; the Ethiopians and the Libyans, that handle the shield; and the Ludim [strife], that handle [and] bend the bow.

10For this [is] the day of the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehoveeh (THE FATHER) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehoveeh (THE FATHER) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates (to break forth, to gush).

11Go up into Gil’ad [Rocky Region], and take balm (a medicine; rosin from a bush), O virgin, the daughter of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place]: in vain shall youⁱ use many medicines; [for] youⁱ shall not be cured.

12The nations have heard of yourⁱ shame, and yourⁱ cry has filled the land: for the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty, [and] they are fallen both together.

13The word that the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) spoke to Yirmeyahu [whom Yehovah has appointed] the prophet, how N’vukhadretzar [may Nebo protect the crown] king of Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion] should come [and] strike the land of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place].

14Declare you^2f in Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], and publish in Migdol [Tower], and publish in Nof [presentability] and in Tachpanches [you will fill hands with pity]: say you^2f, Stand fast, and prepare youⁱ; for the sword shall devour round about youⁱ.

15Why are yourⁱ valiant [men] swept away? they stood not, because the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) did drive them.

16He made many to fall, yes, one fell upon another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.

17They did cry there, Par’oh [Pharaoh - Great House] king of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] [is but] a noise; he has passed the time appointed.

18[As] I live, says the King, whose name [is] the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], Surely as Tavor [Mound] [is] among the mountains, and as Carmel [Garden-land] by the sea, [so] shall he come.

19O youⁱ daughter dwelling in Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], furnish yourself to go into captivity: for Nof [presentability] shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant.

20Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] [is like] a very fair heifer, [but] destruction comes; it comes out of the north.

21Also her hired men [are] in the midst of her like fatted bullocks; for they also are turned back, [and] are fled away together: they did not stand, because the day of their calamity was come upon them, [and] the time of their visitation.

22The voice thereof shall go like a serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.

23They shall cut down her forest, says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and [are] innumerable.

24The daughter of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.

25The LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], the God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], says; Behold, I will punish the multitude of No, and Par’oh [Pharaoh - Great House], and Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], with their gods, and their kings; even Par’oh [Pharaoh - Great House], and [all] them that trust in him: 26And I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of N’vukhadretzar [may Nebo protect the crown] king of Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion], and into the hand of his servants: and afterward it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

27But fear not youⁱ, O my servant Ya’akov [Heal of God], and be not dismayed, O Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: for, behold, I will save youⁱ from afar off, and yourⁱ seed from the land of their captivity; and Ya’akov [Heal of God] shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make [him] afraid.

28Fear youⁱ not, O Ya’akov [Heal of God] my servant, says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): for I [am] with youⁱ; for I will make a full end of all the nations to which I have driven youⁱ: but I will not make a full end of youⁱ, but correct youⁱ in measure; yet will I not leave youⁱ wholly unpunished.
