Jeremiah 46:20-23

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