Jeremiah 46:23-25
New American Standard Bible
23 They have cut down her (A)forest,” declares the Lord;
“Certainly it will no longer be found,
Even though [a]they are more numerous than (B)locusts
And are without number.
24 The daughter of Egypt has been put to shame,
Turned over to the [b]power of the (C)people of the north.”
25 The Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “Behold, I am going to punish Amon of (D)Thebes, and (E)Pharaoh, and Egypt along with her (F)gods and her kings, indeed, Pharaoh and those who (G)trust in him.
