Jeremiah 46:20-22

Contemporary English Version

²⁰ An enemy from the north
will attack you, beautiful Egypt,
    like a fly biting a cow.
²¹ The foreign soldiers you hired
    will turn and run.
But they are doomed,
like well-fed calves
    being led to the butcher.

* ²² The enemy army will go forward
    like a swarm of locusts.^[a]
Your troops will feel helpless,
    like a snake in a forest
