Jeremiah 46:22-24
Easy-to-Read Version
22 Egypt is like a snake hissing
and trying to escape.
The enemy comes closer and closer,
and the Egyptian army is trying to slither away.
The enemy will attack Egypt with axes,
like men cutting down trees.”
23 This is what the Lord says:
“They will chop down Egypt’s forest.
There are many trees in that forest,
but they will all be cut down.
There are more enemy soldiers than locusts.
There are so many soldiers that no one can count them.
24 Egypt will be ashamed.
The enemy from the north will defeat her.”

Jeremiah 46:22-24
New International Version
22 Egypt will hiss like a fleeing serpent
as the enemy advances in force;
they will come against her with axes,
like men who cut down trees.(A)
23 They will chop down her forest,”
declares the Lord,
“dense though it be.
They are more numerous than locusts,(B)
they cannot be counted.
24 Daughter Egypt will be put to shame,
given into the hands of the people of the north.(C)”
