Jeremiah 46:20-26

20Egypt is a pretty 1heifer, But a 2horsefly is coming 3from the north--it is coming!21Also her 4mercenaries in her midst Are like 5fattened 6calves, For even they too have turned back and have fled away together; They did not stand their ground. For the day of their calamity has come upon them, The time of their 7punishment.22Its sound moves along like a serpent; For they move on 8like an army And come to her as woodcutters with axes.23They have cut down her 9forest,” declares the Lord; “Surely it will no more be found, Even though 10they are now more numerous than 11locusts And are without number.24The daughter of Egypt has been put to shame, Given over to the 12power of the 13people of the north.”

25The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, says, “Behold, I am going to punish Amon of 14Thebes, and 15Pharaoh, and Egypt along with her 16gods and her kings, even Pharaoh and those who 17trust in him. 26I shall give them over to the 18power of those who are 19seeking their lives, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and into the hand of his 20officers. 21Afterwards, however, it will be inhabited as in the days of old,” declares the Lord.
