Jeremiah 46:21-23
New International Version
21 The mercenaries(A) in her ranks
are like fattened calves.(B)
They too will turn and flee(C) together,
they will not stand their ground,
for the day(D) of disaster is coming upon them,
the time(E) 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.(F)
23 They will chop down her forest,”
declares the Lord,
“dense though it be.
They are more numerous than locusts,(G)
they cannot be counted.
Jeremiah 46:21-23
King James Version
21 Also her hired men are in the midst of her like fatted bullocks; for they also are turned back, and are fled away together: they did not stand, because the day of their calamity was come upon them, and the time of their visitation.
22 The voice thereof shall go like a serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.
23 They shall cut down her forest, saith the Lord, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and are innumerable.
