Jeremiah 46:22-24
Holman Christian Standard Bible
22 Egypt will hiss like a slithering snake,[a]
for the enemy will come with an army;
with axes they will come against her
like those who cut trees.(A)
23 They will cut down her forest—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
though it is dense,
for they are more numerous than locusts;
they cannot be counted.(B)
24 Daughter Egypt will be put to shame,
handed over to a northern people.(C)

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)”
