Jeremiah 46:22 Context
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. 23They shall cut downe her forrest, saith the Lord, though it cannot be searched, because they are more then the grashoppers, and are innumerable. 24The daughter of Egypt shalbe confounded, she shalbe deliuered into the hand of the people of the North.
