Jeremiah 46:20-22

International Children’s Bible

²⁰ “Egypt is like a beautiful young cow.
    But a horsefly is coming
    from the north to attack her.
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.
