Jeremiah 46 - 48

God declares exactly what will happen to Egypt because of Judah's refusal to listen to His commands to avoid that nation as a refuge.  Nebuchadnezzar would defeat the Egyptian army and pillage the land of the Pharaohs.  The beauty of the land would be no match for the strength of the Creator.  Nevertheless, God would preserve from among His people a remnant who would return to praise and worship Him.  In retaliation, Egypt would strike out against Philistia and Moab.  God would use even pagan nations to accomplish His purposes without violating their wills or releasing them from responsibility for their actions.
