Jeremiah 46:21-23

Good News Translation

²¹ Even her hired soldiers
    are helpless as calves.
They did not stand and fight;
    all of them turned and ran.
The day of their doom had arrived,
    the time of their destruction.
²² Egypt runs away, hissing like a snake,
    as the enemy's army approaches.
They attack her with axes,
    like people cutting down trees
²³     and destroying a thick forest.
Their soldiers are too many to count;
    they outnumber the locusts.
