Jeremiah 46:20-26

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 treesH2404 H6086.23They will chop downH3772 her forestH3293, declaresH5002 the LORDH3068,denseH3808 thoughH3588 it may beH2713,forH3588 they are more numerousH7231 than locustsH697;they cannotH369 be countedH4557.24The DaughterH1323 of EgyptH4714 will be put to shameH954;she will be deliveredH5414 into the handsH3027 of the peopleH5971 of the northH6828.”

25The LORDH3068 of HostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saysH559: “BeholdH2005, I am about to punishH6485 H413 AmonH528 god of ThebesH4996 H5921,2 along with PharaohH6547 , EgyptH4714 withH5921 her godsH430 H5921 and kingsH4428 H5921, and those who trustH982 in PharaohH6547. 26I will deliver themH5414 into the handsH3027 of those who seekH1245 their livesH5315 H3027—of NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 H3027 and his officersH5650. But afterH310 thisH3651, Egypt will be inhabitedH7931 as in daysH3117 of oldH6924, declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.
