Jeremiah 46:20-22

Complete Jewish Bible

²⁰ Egypt is a beautiful female calf;
but a horsefly from the north has come to attack her.
²¹ Her mercenaries too, that she had with her,
were like well-fed calves in a stable;
but they too have withdrawn in retreat,
they all ran away without standing their ground.
For their day of disaster has come over them,
the time for them to be punished.
²² Egypt hisses like a snake,
as the enemy’s army marches ahead,
attacking her with their axes
like lumbermen chopping trees.
