NET Bible
"There at home they will say,‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is just a big noise! He has let the most opportune moment pass by.’"
— Jeremiah 46:17, NET Bible
“They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath passed the time appointed.”
“They cried there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath let the appointed time pass by. ”
“They cried there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he has let the appointed time pass by.”
“Call ye the name of Pharao king of Egypt, a tumult time hath brought.”
“Give a name to Pharaoh, king of Egypt: A noise who has let the time go by.”
“They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath passed the time appointed.”
“Make an announcement throughout Egypt. Proclaim it in Migdol, Memphis, and Tahpanhes.‘Take your positions and prepare to do battle. For the enemy army is destroying all the nations around you.’
Why will your soldiers be defeated? They will not stand because I, the LORD, will thrust them down.
I will make many stumble. They will fall over one another in their hurry to flee. They will say,‘Get up! Let’s go back to our own people. Let’s go back to our homelands because the enemy is coming to destroy us.’
There at home they will say,‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is just a big noise! He has let the most opportune moment pass by.’
I the King, whose name is the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, swear this: I swear as surely as I live that a conqueror is coming. He will be as imposing as Mount Tabor is among the mountains, as Mount Carmel is against the backdrop of the sea.
Pack your bags for exile, you inhabitants of poor dear Egypt. For Memphis will be laid waste. It will lie in ruins and be uninhabited.
Egypt is like a beautiful young cow. But northern armies will attack her like swarms of stinging flies.
