Jeremiah 46

²⁰ Egypt is a beautiful heifer, but a gadfly from the north is coming against her.

²¹ Even the mercenaries among her are like fattened calves. They too will turn back; together they will flee, they will not stand their ground, for the day of calamity is coming upon them—the time of their punishment.

²² Egypt will hiss like a fleeing serpent, for the enemy will advance in force; with axes they will come against her like woodsmen cutting down trees.

²³ They will chop down her forest, declares the LORD, dense though it may be, for they are more numerous than locusts; they cannot be counted.

²⁴ The Daughter of Egypt will be put to shame; she will be delivered into the hands of the people of the north.”
