Jeremiah 46:22-24

Good News Translation

²² Egypt runs away, hissing like a snake,
    as the enemy's army approaches.
They attack her with axes,
    like people cutting down trees
²³     and destroying a thick forest.
Their soldiers are too many to count;
    they outnumber the locusts.
²⁴ The people of Egypt are put to shame;
    they are conquered by the people of the north.
I, the Lord, have spoken.”
