Contextual Overview
12 The nations have heard about your disgrace; your shrieks fill the earth as warrior trips over warrior, both falling down together. 13 This word Adonai spoke to Yirmeyahu the prophet concerning how N'vukhadretzar king of Bavel would come and attack the land of Egypt: 14 "Proclaim in Egypt, announce in Migdol, announce in Nof and Tachpanches; say: ‘Take your stand! Get ready! For all around you the sword is destroying. 15 Why has your strong one been overthrown? He failed to stand because Adonai pushed him down. 16 He caused many to trip; yes, they fell all over each other.'" Then they said, "Let's get up, let's return to our own people, back to the land where we were born, away from the sword that destroys." 17 They cried there, "Pharaoh king of Egypt makes noise, but he lets the right time [for action] slip by." 18 "As I live," says the king, whose name is Adonai -Tzva'ot, "when he comes, he will be [as mighty] as Tavor among the mountains, as Karmel next to the sea. 19 "Daughter living in Egypt, prepare what you need for exile; for Nof will become a ruin, laid waste, without inhabitant. 20 Egypt is a beautiful female calf; but a horsefly from the north has come to attack her. 21 Her mercenaries too, that she had with her, were like well-fed calves in a stable; but they too have withdrawn in retreat, they all ran away without standing their ground. For their day of disaster has come over them, the time for them to be punished.

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.
