The only thing I can think of is that some liberal dissenters published this. It's what happens when you put liberals in any position of responsibility.

Or, it could be similar to this (but I doubt it):

In the book of Jeremiah, the Lord referred to “my servant” Nebuchadnezzar “ three times (Jer. 25:9; 27:6; 43:10). Old Testament writers generally used the title “Servant of Yahweh” to designate persons who had a special relationship with God and who were obedient to God’s will in the life of His people.

Jeremiah designated Nebuchadnezzar the “Servant” of God as a way to present Babylon’s king as the individual God appointed to have dominion over the nations and the one who would act as the instrument of God’s justice (Jer. 25:8-11). Because Nebuchadnezzar was acting as God’s agent, Jeremiah declared to the people that rebellion against Nebuchadnezzar was rebellion against God.

If the Koran is inspired, then the Bible is full of distortions and lies.

(Particularly, because the Koran insists that it was Ishmael whom Abraham took to be sacrificed, not Isaac; and hence all the blessings of Issac fall to Ishmael — and not to Israel.)

Your #3 was a perfect description of what and why it happened (In my opinion and understanding of Jeremiah)

The Egyptian Pharaoh served God’s purpose too.
