Jeremiah 46:20-26
20EgyptH4714 is a prettyH3304 1heiferH5697, But a 2horseflyH7171 is comingH935 3from the northH6828--it is comingH935!21AlsoH1571 her 4mercenariesH7917 in her midstH7130 Are like 5fattenedH4770 6calvesH5695, For evenH1571 they tooH1571 have turnedH6437 backH6437 and have fledH5127 away togetherH3164; They did not standH5975 their ground. For the dayH3117 of their calamityH343 has comeH935 upon them, The timeH6256 of their 7punishmentH6486.22Its soundH6963 movesH1980 along like a serpentH5175; For they moveH1980 on 8like an armyH2428 And comeH935 to her as woodcuttersH2404 with axesH7134.23They have cutH3772 downH3772 her 9forestH3293,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068; “SurelyH3588 it will noH3808 more be foundH2713, Even thoughH3588 10they are now moreH4480 numerousH7231 thanH4480 11locustsH697 And are withoutH369 numberH4557.24The daughterH1323 of EgyptH4714 has beenH954 putH954 to shameH954, GivenH5414 over to the 12powerH3027 of the 13peopleH5971 of the northH6828.”
25The LordH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saysH559, “BeholdH2009, I am going to punishH6485 AmonH528 of 14ThebesH4996, and 15PharaohH6547, and EgyptH4714 along with her 16godsH430 and her kingsH4428, even PharaohH6547 and those who 17trustH982 in him. 26I shall giveH5414 them over to the 18powerH3027 of those who are 19seekingH1245 their livesH5315, even into the handH3027 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 and into the handH3027 of his 20officersH5650. 21AfterwardsH310H3651, however, it will be inhabitedH7931 as in the daysH3117 of oldH6924,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.
