Jeremiah 46:21-23
Christian Standard Bible
21 Even her mercenaries among her
are like stall-fed calves.
They too will turn back;
together they will flee;
they will not take their stand,
for the day of their calamity is coming on them,
the time of their punishment.(A)
22 Egypt will hiss like a slithering snake,[a]
for the enemy will come with an army;
with axes they will come against her
like those who cut trees.(B)
23 They will cut down her forest—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
though it is dense,
for they are more numerous than locusts;
they cannot be counted.(C)
