New American Standard Bible
Jeremiah 46:22-24
New American Standard Bible
22 Its sound moves along like a serpent;
For they move on [a]like an army
And come to her as woodcutters with axes.
23 They have cut down her (A)forest,” declares the Lord;
“Certainly it will no longer be found,
Even though [b]they are more numerous than (B)locusts
And are without number.
24 The daughter of Egypt has been put to shame,
Turned over to the [c]power of the (C)people of 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)”
