Jeremiah 46:21-23

Lexham English Bible

²¹ Even her mercenaries in her midst are like calves of fattening,
    for they also have turned away,
    they have fled together.
They stand not,
    for the day of their calamity has come,
    the time of their punishment.
²² Her sound is like a snake that glides away,
    for they march in force.
And with axes they come to her
    like those who chop trees.
²³ They will cut down her forest,” declares^[a] Yahweh,
    “for it is impenetrable.^[b]
Yes, they are more numerous than locusts,^[c]
    and they are without number.^[d]
