Jeremiah 46:22
World English Bible (WEB)
Its sound will go like the serpent, for they will march with an army, and come against her with axes, as wood cutters.
In context
20 “Egypt is a very beautiful heifer; but destruction out of the north has come. It has come.
21 Also her hired men in the middle of her are like calves of the stall, for they also are turned back. They have fled away together. They didn’t stand, for the day of their calamity has come on them, the time of their visitation.
22 Its sound will go like the serpent, for they will march with an army, and come against her with axes, as wood cutters.
23 They will cut down her forest,” says the LORD, “though it can’t be searched; because they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable.
24 The daughter of Egypt will be disappointed; she will be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.”
