Verse in context — Jeremiah 46
Egypt is a very beautiful heifer; [but] destruction out of the north is come, it is come.
Also her hired men in the midst of her are like calves of the stall; for they also are turned back, they are fled away together, they didn't stand: for the day of their calamity is come on them, the time of their visitation.
The sound of it shall go like the serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as wood cutters.
They shall cut down her forest, says Yahweh, though it can't be searched; because they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable.
The daughter of Egypt shall be disappointed; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
