17Call ye the name of Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt, Saon esbeie moed.

18As I live, saith the Lord God, he shall come as Tabor among the mountains, and as Carmel that is on the sea.

— Jeremiah 26:19 —

20Egypt is a fair heifer, but destruction from the north is come upon her.

21Also her hired soldiers in the midst of her are as fatted calves fed in her; for they also have turned, and fled with one accord: they stood not, for the day of destruction was come upon them, and the time of their retribution.
