Jeremiah 47

Amplified Bible, 2015 (AMP)

Switch Version:

¹ "Then I will leave you (Egypt) on the land; I will hurl you on the open field. And I will make all the birds of the sky dwell on you, And I will satisfy the animals of all the earth with you.

² "And I will scatter your flesh on the mountains And fill the valleys with your debris [your corpses and their worms].

³ "I will also water the land with your flowing blood As far as the mountains, And the ravines will be full of you.

⁴ "And when I extinguish you, I will cover the heavens [of Egypt] and darken their stars; I will cover the sun with a cloud And the moon will not give its light.

⁵ "All the bright lights in the heavens I will darken over you And I will place darkness on your land," Says the Lord GOD.

⁶ I will also put fear into the hearts of many peoples when I bring your destruction [and captivity] among the nations, into countries which you have not known.

⁷ I will make many peoples appalled at you [at your judgment and your defeat], and their kings will be horribly afraid of you when I brandish My sword [of judgment] before them; they will tremble and shudder every moment, every man for his own life, on the day of your downfall."
