Jeremiah 46:22-24

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²² “She makes a sound like a serpent gliding away;
    for her enemies march in force,
and come against her with axes,
    like those who fell trees.
²³ They shall cut down her forest,
                says the Lord,
    though it is impenetrable,
because they are more numerous than locusts;
    they are without number.
²⁴ The daughter of Egypt shall be put to shame,
    she shall be delivered into the hand of a people from the north.”
