Jeremiah 46:20-22

The Voice

²⁰     Egypt is like a heifer—beautiful, but helpless—
        because a biting horsefly from the north is coming against her.
²¹     The mercenaries in her army are like fattened calves:
        they will turn and run, all of them together.
    They will not stand their ground, for the day of disaster is coming;
        the time for their punishment is upon them.
²²     Egypt will slither away like a hissing serpent
        as her enemy marches on.
    They will come with axes,
        like woodsmen who cut down trees.
