Jeremiah 46:22-24

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

²² Egypt will hiss like a slithering snake,^[a]
for the enemy will come with an army;
with axes they will come against her
like those who cut trees.^(A)
23 They will cut down her forest –
this is the Lord’s declaration –
though it is dense,
for they are more numerous than locusts;
they cannot be counted.^(B)
24 Daughter Egypt will be put to shame,
handed over to a northern people.^(C)
