Jeremiah 46b - Babylon Takes it to Egypt

In the second prophesy regarding Egypt, Jeremiah  describes what will occur when Babylon takes the fight into Egypt's homeland.   He describes the Egyptian's hasty retreat and devastating loss to the invading Babylonians.  Pharoah is shown to be an unreliable leader, and will look like a fool.  In the final verses of this chapter, Jeremiah reassures the people of Israel. Although these other mighty empires may be destroyed, Israel need not be afraid. The children of Jacob, though they may suffer much in exile, will one day return to their land.
