Jeremiah 46:23-25
New Catholic Bible
23 They will cut down her forest,[a] says the Lord,
even though it appears impenetrable,
because they are more numerous than locusts;
they are beyond counting.
24 Daughter Egypt will be disgraced,
handed over to a people from the north.
25 The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, has said: Behold, I will punish Amon[b] of Thebes, and Egypt, her gods and her kings, Pharaoh and those who trust in him.
