²² Its sound will go like the serpent;
    for they will march with an army,
    and come against her with axes, as wood cutters.
²³ They will cut down her forest,” says Yahweh,
    “though it can’t be searched;
because they are more than the locusts,
    and are innumerable.
²⁴ The daughter of Egypt will be disappointed;
    she will be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.”
