Context of Jeremiah 46:24
22Egypt flees, silent as a serpent gliding away. The invading army marches in; they come against her with axes like woodsmen. 23They will cut down her people like trees,” says the Lord, “for they are more numerous than locusts. Egypt will be humiliated; she will be handed over to people from the north.” 25The Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: “I will punish Amon, the god of Thebes, and all the other gods of Egypt. I will punish its rulers and Pharaoh, too, and all who trust in him. 26I will hand them over to those who want them killed—to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and his army. But afterward the land will recover from the ravages of war. I, the Lord, have spoken!
