Jeremiah 46:22-24
GOD’S WORD Translation
22 Egypt will hiss like a snake as it slithers away.
Its enemies will come with full force.
They will attack it with axes like those who chop wood.
23 They will cut down the forest,” declares the Lord,
“since Egypt can’t be found.
They are more numerous than locusts; they can’t be counted.
24 The people of Egypt will be put to shame.
They will be handed over to the people from the north.”
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)”
