20 “Egypt is a very pretty (A)heifer,
But destruction comes, it comes (B)from the north.
21 Also her mercenaries are in her midst like [a]fat bulls,
For they also are turned back,
They have fled away together.
They did not stand,
For (C)the day of their calamity had come upon them,
The time of their punishment.
22 (D)Her noise shall go like a serpent,
For they shall march with an army
And come against her with axes,
Like those who chop wood.
