Jeremiah 46:19

"“As I live,” says the King, whose name is the LORD of Armies, “surely like Tabor among the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea, so he will come."

Key Reflection

This verse uses vivid imagery to convey the certainty and majesty of God's coming judgment. By comparing the approaching army to the prominent Tabor mountain and the fruitful Carmel coast, Jeremiah emphasizes that God’s presence will be both visible and powerful, much like these recognizable landmarks.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Literally, “O thou inhabitant daughter of Egypt,” an equivalent here for Egypt and its whole population. Furnish thyself ... -literally, make for thee vessels of banishment, not merely the packages necessary, but their outfit generally.
