19 Get your bags ready for exile,
inhabitant of Daughter Egypt!(A)
For Memphis will become a desolation,
uninhabited ruins.
20 Egypt is a beautiful young cow,(B)
but a horsefly from the north is coming against her.[a](C)
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.(D)
