Jeremiah 46

Jeremiah prophesies YHWH's judgment against Egypt, specifically foretelling the Babylonian defeat of the Egyptian army at the Battle of Carchemish in 605 B.C.[1][2] The chapter describes Egypt's military collapse, the flight of Pharaoh's forces, and the devastation that will come from the north, while concluding with a message of comfort to Israel that YHWH will not completely destroy His covenant people.[1][7]
