19 Pharʹaoh the king of Egypt and his servants and his princes and all his people;+

2 For Egypt,+ concerning the military force of Pharʹaoh Neʹcho* the king of Egypt,+ who happened to be by the river Eu·phraʹtes at Carʹche·mish,+ whom Neb·u·chad·rezʹzar the king of Babylon defeated in the fourth year of Je·hoiʹa·kim+ the son of Jo·siʹah, the king of Judah:

13 The word that Jehovah spoke to Jeremiah the prophet as regards the coming of Neb·u·chad·rezʹzar the king of Babylon to strike down the land of Egypt:+

19 “Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said, ‘Here I am giving to Neb·u·chad·rezʹzar the king of Babylon the land of Egypt,+ and he must carry off its wealth and make a big spoil of it+ and do a great deal of plundering of it; and it must become wages for his military force.’

4 And a sword will certainly come into Egypt,+ and severe pains must occur in E·thi·oʹpi·a* when one falls slain in Egypt and they actually take its wealth and its foundations are actually torn down.+

18 And in Te·haphʹne·hes+ the day will actually grow dark, when I break there the yoke bars of Egypt.+ And in her the pride of her strength will actually be made to cease.+ As for her, clouds themselves will cover her,+ and into captivity her own dependent towns* will go.+
