Jeremiah 46:21-23

New Century Version

²¹ The hired soldiers in Egypt’s army
    are like fat calves,
because even they all turn and run away together;
    they do 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 come against Egypt with axes
    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 to count.
