Contextual Overview
12 All nations have heard you weep; you are disgraced, and they know it. Your troops fall to the ground, stumbling over each other. 13When King Nebuchadnezzar 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 and chased him away. 16 Your soldiers stumble over each other and say, "Get up! The enemy will kill us, unless we can escape to our own land." 17 Give the king of Egypt this new name, "Talks-Big-Does-Nothing." 18 Egypt, I am the true king, the Lord All-Powerful, and as surely as I live, those enemies who attack will tower over you like Mount Tabor among the hills or Mount Carmel by the sea. 19 You will be led away captive, so pack a few things to bring with you. Your capital, Memphis, will lie empty and in ruins. 20 An enemy from the north will attack you, beautiful Egypt, like a fly biting a cow. 21 The foreign soldiers you hired will turn and run. But they are doomed, like well-fed calves being led to the butcher. 22 The enemy army will go forward like a swarm of locusts. Your troops will feel helpless, like a snake in a forest

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The word that the Lord spake to Jeremiah the prophet,.... This is a new and distinct prophecy from the former, though concerning Egypt as that; but in this they differ; the former prophecy respects only the overthrow of the Egyptian army at a certain place; this latter the general destruction of the land; and was fulfilled some years after the other; Jarchi says, according to their chronicles g, in the twenty seventh year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign:
how Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come; or, "concerning the coming h of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon",
to smite the land of Egypt; who was to come, and did come, out of his country, into the land of Egypt, to smite the inhabitants of it with the sword, take their cities, plunder them of their substance, and make them tributary to him.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
A new prophecy, foretelling the successful invasion of Egypt by Nebuchadnezzar, has been appended to the hymn of triumph, because they both relate to the same kingdom. This prophecy was probably spoken in Egypt to warn the Jews there, that the country which they were so obstinately determined to make their refuge would share the fate of their native land.
How ... should come - Or, concerning the coming “of Nebuchadrezzar.”
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 46:13. How Nebuchadrezzar - should come and smite the land of Egypt. — See on Jeremiah 44:29; Jeremiah 44:30. This was after Amasis had driven Pharaoh-necho into Upper Egypt. See Jeremiah 44:30.
