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 daughter of Egypt shall be confounded,.... Brought to shame before all the nations of the earth, being conquered by the Chaldeans; that is, the kingdom of Egypt, as the Targum; or the inhabitants of it, being subdued and carried captive:

she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north; the Chaldeans, who dwelt northward of Egypt, as is manifest from what follows.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The daughter ... - i. e., the inhabitants “of Egypt shall be disgraced.”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 46:24. The hand or the people of the north — The Chaldeans.
