Jeremiah 46:20-23

20Egypt is like a beautiful young cow. But an army from the north will attack her, like a crowd of flies that bite.

21Egypt has paid soldiers from other countries to help her. But they are like fat calves that are too weak to fight. They will not stand and fight, but they will turn and run away. Yes, the day of Egypt's punishment has arrived! Their enemy has come to destroy them.

22Egypt's people will run away, like a snake along the ground. The enemy's strong army will march forward. They will attack Egypt with axes, like men who cut down trees.

23Egypt's soldiers are as many as the trees in a great forest. But the enemy's soldiers will cut them down. Their army is like a hungry crowd of locusts. They are too many to count.
