19 Make your baggage ready for (A)exile,
(B)Daughter living in Egypt,
For (C)Memphis will become a desolation;
It will be destroyed and [a]deprived of inhabitants.
20 Egypt is a pretty (D)heifer,
But a [b]horsefly is coming (E)from the north—it is coming!
21 Also her (F)mercenaries in her midst
Are like fattened (G)calves,
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 (H)punishment.
