Jeremiah 46:21
Berean Standard Bible
Even the mercenaries among her are like fattened calves. They too will turn back; together they will flee, they will not stand their ground, for the day of calamity is coming upon them— the time of their punishment.
Context
19Pack your bags for exile,
O daughter dwelling in Egypt!
For Memphis will be laid waste,
destroyed and uninhabited. 20Egypt is a beautiful heifer,
but a gadfly from the north is coming against her. 21Even the mercenaries among her
are like fattened calves.
They too will turn back;
together they will flee, they will not stand their ground,
for the day of calamity is coming upon them—
the time of their punishment. 22Egypt will hiss like a fleeing serpent,*
for the enemy will advance in force;
with axes they will come against her
like woodsmen cutting down trees. 23They will chop down her forest, declares the LORD,
dense though it may be,
for they are more numerous than locusts;
they cannot be counted.
