Jeremiah 46:20-23

20EgyptH4714 is a beautifulH3304 heiferH5697, but a gadflyH7171 from the northH6828 is coming against herH935.21EvenH1571 the mercenariesH7916 among herH7130 are like fattenedH4770 calvesH5695. TheyH1992 tooH1571 will turn backH6437; togetherH3162 they will fleeH5127, they will notH3808 stand their groundH5975, forH3588 the dayH3117 of calamityH343 is comingH935 upon themH5921— the timeH6256 of their punishmentH6486.

22Egypt will hissH6963 like a fleeingH1980 serpentH5175,1forH3588 the enemy will advanceH1980 in forceH2428;with axesH7134 they will comeH935 against herlike woodsmen cutting down treesH2404H6086.23They will chop downH3772 her forestH3293, declaresH5002 the LORDH3068,denseH3808 thoughH3588 it may beH2713,forH3588 they are more numerousH7231 than locustsH697;they cannotH369 be countedH4557.
