Contextual Overview

12The nations have heard of your disgrace,And the earth is full of your outcry;For one warrior has stumbled over another,And both of them have fallen down together. 13This is the message which Yahweh spoke to Jeremiah the prophet about the coming of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to strike down the land of Egypt: 14"Declare in Egypt and cause it to be heard in Migdol;Cause it to be heard also in Memphis and Tahpanhes;Say, ‘Take your stand and get yourself ready,For the sword has devoured those around you.' 15Why are your mighty ones thrown down?They do not stand because Yahweh has thrust them down. 16They have repeatedly stumbled;Indeed, they have fallen one against another.Then they said, ‘Rise up! And let us returnTo our own people and land of our birthAway from the sword of the oppressor.' 17They called out there, ‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a rumbling;He has let the appointed time pass by!' 18As I live," declares the KingWhose name is Yahweh of hosts,"Surely one shall come who looms up like Tabor among the mountains,Or like Carmel by the sea. 19Make your baggage ready for exile,O inhabitant of the daughter of Egypt,For Memphis will become a desolation;It will even be turned into ruin and without inhabitants. 20Egypt is a pretty heifer,But a horsefly is coming from the north—it is coming! 21Also her mercenaries in her midstAre like fattened calves,For even they have turned back and have fled away together;They did not stand their ground.For the day of their disaster has come upon them,The time of their punishment.

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.

g Seder Olam Rabba, c. 26. p. 77. h לבוא נבוכדראצר "de venturo Nebuchadretzare", Junius Tremellius "de adventu Nebuchadretsaris", Calvin, Munster, Piscator; "de veniendo", Vatablus, Montanus.

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.
