Jeremiah 46:20-22
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
20 A beautiful heifer is Egypt—
a gadfly from the north lights upon her.(A)
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.(B)
22 She makes a sound like a snake gliding away,
for her enemies march in force
and come against her with axes,
like those who fell trees.(C)
