Jeremiah 46:18

Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"As I live, saith the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts, surely like Tabor among the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea, so shall he come." — Jeremiah 46:18 (ASV)

Surely as Tabor is among the mountains ... —Nebuchadnezzar in his high-towering greatness is compared to two of the most conspicuous mountains of Palestine, Tabor rising in solitary greatness 1,350 feet above the plain, Carmel 1,805 feet above the sea. So, in Jeremiah 22:6, the king of Judah is compared to Gilead and the head of Lebanon.
