Jeremiah 46:21 Context
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. 23They shall cut downe her forrest, saith the Lord, though it cannot be searched, because they are more then the grashoppers, and are innumerable.
