Contextual Overview
12 Nations have heard of your shame; everyone has heard you cry. One soldier trips over another, and both of them fall to the ground. 13 When King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia came to attack Egypt, the Lord spoke to me. He said, 14 "Proclaim it in the towns of Egypt, in Migdol, Memphis, and Tahpanhes: ‘Get ready to defend yourselves; all you have will be destroyed in war! 15 Why has your mighty god Apis fallen? The Lord has struck him down!' 16 Your soldiers have stumbled and fallen; each one says to the other, ‘Hurry! Let's go home to our people and escape the enemy's sword!' 17 "Give the king of Egypt a new name— ‘Noisy Braggart Who Missed His Chance.' 18 I, the Lord Almighty, am king. I am the living God. As Mount Tabor towers above the mountains and Mount Carmel stands high above the sea, so will be the strength of the one who attacks you. 19 Get ready to be taken prisoner, you people of Egypt! Memphis will be made a desert, a ruin where no one lives. 20 Egypt is like a splendid cow, attacked by a stinging fly from the north. 21 Even her hired soldiers are helpless as calves. They did not stand and fight; all of them turned and ran. The day of their doom had arrived, the time of their destruction.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The nations have heard of thy shame,.... Their shameful defeat and overthrow by the Chaldean army; so, after the manner of prophecy, the thing is related as done; the battle fought, and the victory obtained; and the rumour and fame of it spread among the nations, to the great mortification of this proud people:
and thy cry hath filled the land; the shrieks of the wounded; the cry of the pursued and taken; the lamentation of friends and relations for their dead; with one thing or another of this kind the whole land of Egypt was filled; yea, all the countries round about them, in confederacy with them, were filled with distress for the loss of their own; the calamity was large and spreading, and the rumour of it:
for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, [and] they are fallen both together; either the mighty Egyptians against the mighty Chaldeans; and though the latter were the conquerors, yet lost abundance of men; so that there were mighty ones fell on both sides: or rather, as Jarchi, Kimchi, and Abarbinel, the mighty Egyptians in their flight fell, and other mighty ones of them following, stumbled at them, and fell upon them, and so both became a prey to the pursuers; or in their flight the mighty Egyptians stumbled against their mighty auxiliaries before mentioned, Jeremiah 46:9; and so both came into the hands of their enemies. The Targum is, both were slain.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The land - The earth; the world rings with the cry of grief.
Against the mighty - Against the mighty man, i. e., one mighty man against another. The champions hired to fight Egypt’s battle get in one another’s way, and so are slaughtered together.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 46:12. The nations have heard of thy shame — Of thy disgrace, by this prodigious slaughter of thy troops.
