"Why have your mighty ones become prostrate?So, the greatest soldiers of Egypt could not stand against Babylon. They have been cast low, perhaps even killed. From the beginning of the chapter, it sounds like they fought a major battle, and lost.
They do not stand because the LORD has thrust them down.
But Jeremiah is saying that it's not because Babylon is great. Instead, he's saying that God was against Egypt for whatever reason. Regardless, He made a decision to favor Babylon over Egypt, and therefore, caused Egypt's army to be laid low.
