Jeremiah

¹⁷They cried there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath let the appointed time pass by. ¹⁸As I live, saith the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts, surely like Tabor among the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea, so shall he come. ¹⁹O thou daughter that dwellest in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity: for Noph shall become a desolation, and shall be burnt up, without inhabitant. ²⁰Egypt is a very fair heifer; but destruction out of the north is come, it is come. ²¹Also 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 did not stand: for the day of their calamity is come upon them, the time of their visitation. ²²The sound thereof shall go like the serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood. ²³They shall cut down her forest, saith the Lord, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable.
