Put on the coats of armor!

For that day belongs to the Lord [fn]GOD of armies,

A day of vengeance, so as to avenge Himself on His foes;

In the land of the north at the river Euphrates.

You have used many [fn]remedies in vain;

Daughter living in Egypt,

For Memphis will become a desolation;

Nor be dismayed, Israel!

For, see, I am going to save you from far away,

And your descendants from the land of their captivity;

And secure, with no one making him afraid.

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 46:28 -

Where I have driven you,

Yet I will not make a complete destruction of you;

But I will correct you properly

And by no means leave you unpunished.”
