21 Even her mercenaries in her midst
    are like fatted calves;
they too have turned and fled together,
    they did not stand;
for the day of their calamity has come upon them,
    the time of their punishment.

    for her enemies march in force,
and come against her with axes,

    though it is impenetrable,
because they are more numerous
    than locusts;
    they are without number.
