Jeremiah 46:21-23
New International Version - UK
21 The mercenaries in her ranks
are like fattened calves.
They too will turn and flee together,
they will not stand their ground,
for the day of disaster is coming upon them,
the time for them to be punished.
22 Egypt will hiss like a fleeing serpent
as the enemy advances in force;
they will come against her with axes,
like men who cut down trees.
23 They will chop down her forest,’
declares the Lord,
‘dense though it be.
They are more numerous than locusts,
they cannot be counted.
