Jeremiah 46:20 Context
18As I liue, saith the King, whose Name is the Lord of hostes, Surely as Tabor is among the mountaines, and as Carmel by the Sea, so shall hee come. 19Oh thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish thy selfe to goe into captiuitie: for Noph shalbe waste and desolate without an inhabitant. 20Egypt is like a very faire heifer, but destruction commeth: it commeth out of the North. 21Also her hired men are in the midst of her, like fatted bullocks, for they also are turned backe, and are fled away together; they did not stand, because the day of their calamitie was come vpon them, and the time of their visitation. 22The voice thereof shall goe like a serpent, for they shall march with an armie, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.
