Jeremiah 46:12

Adam Clarke
Bible Commentary

The nations have heard of thy shame - Of thy disgrace, by this prodigious slaughter of thy troops.

Albert Barnes
Notes on the Whole 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.

Matthew Henry
Concise Bible Commentary
The whole word of God is against those who obey not the gospel of Christ; but it is for those, even of the Gentiles, who turn to Him. The prophecy begins with Egypt. Let them strengthen themselves with all the art and interest they have, yet it shall be all in vain. The wounds God inflicts on his enemies, cannot be healed by medicines. Power and prosperity soon pass from one to another in this changing world.
