John Calvin Commentary Jeremiah 46:24

"The daughter of Egypt shall be put to shame; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north." — Jeremiah 46:24 (ASV)

He says that Egypt would be ashamed, because it would be brought into the greatest disgrace, for their enemies would treat them reproachfully. By the people of the north he means the Chaldeans, as in many other places; for Babylon was northward of Egypt. He intimates, in short, that the Chaldeans would be proud conquerors, so that they would in a reproachful manner oppress the Egyptians after having conquered them.

It is no wonder that the same thing is often repeated by the Prophet, because the thing was incredible at that time, as we have said before. As it was then difficult to make the Jews believe that the Chaldeans would become victorious over that nation and land, Jeremiah confirms the same thing at length, for he resolutely struggled with the obstinate unbelief of the people.

Let us proceed.
