Jeremiah 46:22-24
Lexham English Bible
22 Her sound is like a snake that glides away,
for they march in force.
And with axes they come to her
like those who chop trees.
23 They will cut down her forest,” declares[a] Yahweh,
“for it is impenetrable.[b]
Yes, they are more numerous than locusts,[c]
and they are without number.[d]
24 The daughter of Egypt will be ashamed,
she will be given into the hand of the people of the north.”
