Context — Judgment on Egypt
22Egypt will hiss like a fleeing serpent, for the enemy will advance in force; with axes they will come against her like woodsmen cutting down trees.
23They will chop down her forest, declares the LORD, dense though it may be, for they are more numerous than locusts; they cannot be counted.
24The Daughter of Egypt will be put to shame; she will be delivered into the hands of the people of the north.”
25The LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I am about to punish Amon god of Thebes, along with Pharaoh, Egypt with her gods and kings, and those who trust in Pharaoh. 26I will deliver them into the hands of those who seek their lives—of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and his officers. But after this, Egypt will be inhabited as in days of old, declares the LORD.Cross References

| 1 | Jeremiah 1:15 | For I am about to summon all the clans and kingdoms of the north,” declares the LORD. “Their kings will come and set up their thrones at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem. They will attack all her surrounding walls and all the other cities of Judah. |
| 2 | Ezekiel 29:1–21 | In the tenth year, on the twelfth day of the tenth month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt and prophesy against him and against all Egypt. Speak to him and tell him that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, O Pharaoh king of Egypt, O great monster who lies among his rivers, who says, ‘The Nile is mine; I made it myself.’ But I will put hooks in your jaws and cause the fish of your streams to cling to your scales. I will haul you up out of your rivers, and all the fish of your streams will cling to your scales. I will leave you in the desert, you and all the fish of your streams. You will fall on the open field and will not be taken away or gathered for burial. I have given you as food to the beasts of the earth and the birds of the air. Then all the people of Egypt will know that I am the LORD. For you were only a staff of reeds to the house of Israel. When Israel took hold of you with their hands, you splintered, tearing all their shoulders; when they leaned on you, you broke, and their backs were wrenched. Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will bring a sword against you and cut off from you man and beast. The land of Egypt will become a desolate wasteland. Then they will know that I am the LORD. Because you said, ‘The Nile is mine; I made it,’ therefore I am against you and against your rivers. I will turn the land of Egypt into a ruin, a desolate wasteland from Migdol to Syene, and as far as the border of Cush. No foot of man or beast will pass through, and it will be uninhabited for forty years. I will make the land of Egypt a desolation among desolate lands, and her cities will lie desolate for forty years among the ruined cities. And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them throughout the countries. For this is what the Lord GOD says: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations to which they were scattered. I will restore Egypt from captivity and bring them back to the land of Pathros, the land of their origin. There they will be a lowly kingdom. Egypt will be the lowliest of kingdoms and will never again exalt itself above the nations. For I will diminish Egypt so that it will never again rule over the nations. Egypt will never again be an object of trust for the house of Israel, but will remind them of their iniquity in turning to the Egyptians. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.” In the twenty-seventh year, on the first day of the first month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon caused his army to labor strenuously against Tyre. Every head was made bald and every shoulder made raw. But he and his army received no wages from Tyre for the labor they expended on it. Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who will carry off its wealth, seize its spoil, and remove its plunder. This will be the wages for his army. I have given him the land of Egypt as the reward for his labor, because it was done for Me, declares the Lord GOD. In that day I will cause a horn to sprout for the house of Israel, and I will open your mouth to speak among them. Then they will know that I am the LORD.” |

Jeremiah 46:24 Summary
[This verse is saying that Egypt will be embarrassed and defeated by a powerful enemy, the Babylonians, because of their sin and rebellion against God, similar to what happened to Israel in Jeremiah 25:8-11. This is a reminder that God is in control of all nations and will judge those who oppose Him, as seen in Jeremiah 25:15-38. Just like Egypt, we can experience shame and defeat when we turn away from God, but He is always ready to forgive and restore us if we turn back to Him, as promised in Jeremiah 31:18 and Psalm 51:17.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for the Daughter of Egypt to be put to shame?
This phrase suggests that Egypt will experience humiliation and defeat, as prophesied in Jeremiah 46:24, similar to the shame experienced by other nations in Isaiah 20:4 and Ezekiel 32:15.
Who are the people of the north that Egypt will be delivered to?
The people of the north refer to the Babylonians, led by Nebuchadnezzar, as mentioned in Jeremiah 46:26, who will conquer and dominate Egypt.
Is this verse talking about a specific historical event or a spiritual principle?
This verse is prophesying a specific historical event, the conquest of Egypt by the Babylonians, but it also illustrates the spiritual principle of God's judgment on nations that oppose Him, as seen in Isaiah 13:1-22 and Jeremiah 25:15-38.
How does this verse relate to God's plan for Israel?
This verse is part of a larger prophecy about God's judgment on the nations surrounding Israel, including Egypt, as seen in Jeremiah 46:1-28, and demonstrates God's sovereignty over all nations, as declared in Psalm 22:28 and Daniel 4:17.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I, like Egypt, might be experiencing shame or humiliation in my life, and how can I turn to God for restoration?
- How does the concept of being 'delivered into the hands' of someone else make me think about my own trust in God's sovereignty?
- In what ways can I, as a believer, be a source of hope and comfort to those who are experiencing shame or defeat, just as God is a refuge for the oppressed in Psalm 9:9?
- What are some areas in my life where I need to surrender control to God, just as Egypt was forced to surrender to the Babylonians?
Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 46:24
The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded,.... Brought to shame before all the nations of the earth, being conquered by the Chaldeans; that is, the kingdom of Egypt, as the Targum; or the inhabitants
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 46:24
The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north. No JFB commentary on this verse.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 46:24
That is, into the hand or power of the Chaldeans; it is the same thing which the prophet had before said again and again, and repeats it so often only for the further confirmation of the truth of the prediction, notwithstanding the appearing improbability of any such thing.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 46:24
Jeremiah 46:24 The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.Ver. 24. The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded.] This is, in plain terms, the sum of all that had been said before. Subiungit epiphonema.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 46:24
Verse 24. The hand or the people of the north] The Chaldeans.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 46:24
13–26. See introd. note to the ch. and summary. Gi. rejects as later all that follows Jeremiah 46:12 as involving repetitions, looseness of structure, and vagueness in style, criticisms which (see note on Jeremiah 46:2-12) he also brings to bear on the earlier part of the ch. Co. on the other hand fully accepts this later portion. Even if it be genuine, we cannot be certain of the date. It may belong to the fourth year of Jehoiakim, or to Jeremiah’s residence in Egypt, when (see Jeremiah 43:8-13) the Babylonian invader was expected. See further on Jeremiah 46:17.
Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 46:24
The daughter ... - i. e., the inhabitants “of Egypt shall be disgraced.”
