This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
there - in their own country severally, the foreign soldiers (Jer 46:16) cry, “Pharaoh is,” etc.
but a noise - He threatens great things, but when the need arises, he does nothing. His threats are mere “noise” (compare 1Co 13:1). Maurer translates, “is ruined,” literally (in appropriate abruptness of language), “Pharaoh, king ... ruin.” The context favors English Version. His vauntings of what he would do when the time of battle should come have proved to be empty sounds; he hath passed the time appointed (namely, for battle with the Chaldeans).
