Berean Standard Bible

Jeremiah 46:20-23

20Egypt is a beautiful heifer, but a gadfly from the north is coming against her.21Even the mercenaries among her are like fattened calves. They too will turn back; together they will flee, they will not stand their ground, for the day of calamity is coming upon them— the time of their punishment.

22Egypt will hiss like a fleeing serpent,1for the enemy will advance in force;with axes they will come against herlike woodsmen cutting down trees.23They will chop down her forest, declares the LORD,dense though it may be,for they are more numerous than locusts;they cannot be counted.
