Jeremiah 46:23-25
New King James Version
23 “They shall (A)cut down her forest,” says the Lord,
“Though it cannot be searched,
Because they are innumerable,
And more numerous than (B)grasshoppers.
24 The daughter of Egypt shall be ashamed;
She shall be delivered into the hand
Of (C)the people of the north.”
25 The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will bring punishment on [a]Amon of (D)No,[b] and Pharaoh and Egypt, (E)with their gods and their kings—Pharaoh and those who (F)trust in him.
