jeremiah 46:15 "Why have your mighty ones become prostrate? They do not stand because the LORD has thrust them down.

< Jeremiah 46:14
Jeremiah 46:16 >

      15. thy valiant men--manuscripts, the Septuagint, and Vulgate read, "thy valiant one," Apis, the bull-shaped Egyptian idol worshipped at Noph or Memphis. The contrast thus is between the palpable impotence of the idol and the might attributed to it by the worshippers. The Hebrew term, "strong," or "valiant," is applied to bulls (Ps 22:12). Cambyses in his invasion of Egypt destroyed the sacred bull.
      drive them--(Compare Jer 46:5). The Hebrew word is used of a sweeping rain (Pr 28:3).
