Jeremiah 46:13-15
Contemporary English Version

A Warning for Egypt

13-14 (A) When King Nebuchadnezzar[a] of Babylonia was on his way to attack Egypt, the Lord sent me with a warning for every Egyptian town, but especially for Migdol, Memphis, and Tahpanhes. He said to tell them:

Prepare to defend yourselves!
Everywhere in your nation,
    people are dying in war.
15 I have struck down
your mighty god Apis[b]
    and chased him away.[c]
