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
And I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives,.... Into the hands of the Chaldeans; that is, the king of Egypt, and all his people, and those that trusted in him:
and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants; his general officers, that commanded in his army under him. Berosus s, the Chaldean, makes mention of Nebuchadnezzar's carrying the Egyptians captive into Babylon;
and afterwards it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith the Lord; after forty years, as Ezekiel prophesied, Jeremiah 29:13; not that it should rise to the same glory and dignity as before, for it would be but a base kingdom; but whereas it was desolate and uninhabited after this destruction, it should now be inhabited again.
