Jeremiah 46:20-26

20“Egypt is like a beautiful cow, but a horsefly from the north will attack it.

21Egypt’s hired soldiers are like fattened calves. They will turn and run away together. They won’t stand their ground. The day of destruction is coming. At that time they will be punished.

22Egypt will hiss like a snake as it slithers away. Its enemies will come with full force. They will attack it with axes like those who chop wood.

23They will cut down the forest,” declares the Lord, “since Egypt can’t be found. They are more numerous than locusts; they can’t be counted.

24The people of Egypt will be put to shame. They will be handed over to the people from the north.”

25The Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, says, “I’m going to punish Amon, who is the god of Thebes. I will also punish Pharaoh, Egypt, its gods, its kings, and whoever trusts Pharaoh.

26I’ll hand them over to those who want to kill them, to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and his officers. Afterward, they will live in peace as they did long ago,” declares the Lord.
