Hi there. This is Mary Demuth and this is Pray Every Day, where I have the joy and privilege of praying you through the Bible verse by verse on this fifth day of January. I hope you're having an amazing day. If you're in the Northern Hemisphere, it's probably cold where you are. If you're in the Southern Hemisphere, you're warm. So whatever day you're having, I pray that the Lord would bless it. And again, just want to remind you that pray every day is going to turn eight years old. And that's pretty cool. Like it's a third grader now,

pray every day is. And super grateful for that. And I want to celebrate. So I invite you to. You can come

slash pray and record a testimony up to five minutes of how this podcast has affected you

in 2025 and up into 2026. I would really appreciate it. I would make my day and it would bless

Kristen and William as well. All right, today I'm reading from Jeremiah 46 verses 13 through 28, and this is what it says.

The word of the Lord that Yahweh spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how that Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, should come and strike the land of Egypt.

Declare in Egypt, publish in Migdal, and publish in Memphis in Taffanese.

Say, stand up and prepare for the sword has devoured around you.

Why are your strong ones swept away? They didn't stand because Yahweh pushed them.

He made them to stumble. Yes, they fell on one another. They said, arise, let's go again

to our own people and to the land of our birth from the oppressing sword. They cried there,

Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise. He has let the appointed time pass by. As I live, says the king,

whose name is Yahweh of army, surely like Tabor among the mountains,

and like Carmel by the sea, so he will come.

Your daughter who dwells in Egypt, furnish yourself to go into captivity for Memphis will

become a desolation and will be burned up without inhabitant. Egypt is a very beautiful heifer,

but destruction out of the north has come. It has come. Also, her hired men in the middle of her are

like calves of the stall, for they also are turned back. They have fled away together. They

didn't stand, for the day of their calamity has come on them, the time of their visitation. Its sound will go like the serpent, for they will march with an army and come against her with axes as woodcutters. They will cut down her forest, says Yahweh. Though it can't be searched, because they are more than the locusts and are innumerable.

The daughter of Egypt will be disappointed.

She will be delivered into the hand of the people of the North.
