Context of Jeremiah 46:24

22The sound [of Egypt fleeing from the enemy] is like [the rustling of] an escaping serpent, For her foes advance with a mighty army And come against her like woodcutters with axes. 23They have cut down her forest,” says the Lord; “Certainly it will no longer be found, Because they (the invaders) are more numerous than locusts And cannot be counted. The Daughter of Egypt has been shamed, Given over to the power of the people of the north [the Chaldeans of Babylonia].” 25The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, says, “Behold, I am going to punish Amon [chief god of the sacred city] of Thebes [the capital of Upper Egypt], and Pharaoh, and Egypt along with her gods and her kings—even Pharaoh and those who put their trust in him [as a shield against Babylon]. 26I will put them into the hand of those who seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and into the hand of his servants. Afterward Egypt will be inhabited as in the days of old,” says the Lord.
