Jeremiah 46:21-23

International Children’s Bible

²¹ The hired soldiers in Egypt’s army
    are like fat calves.
They will all turn and run away together.
    They will not stand strong against the attack.
Their time of destruction is coming.
    They will soon be punished.
²² Egypt is like a hissing snake that is trying to escape.
    The enemy comes closer and closer.
They will come against Egypt with axes.
    They are like men who cut down trees.
²³ They will chop down Egypt’s army
    as if it were a great forest,” says the Lord.
“There are more enemy soldiers than locusts.
    There are too many soldiers to count.
