Jeremiah 46:22

22 Like the sound of a snake hissing as it slithers away is Egypt as armies approach in force; they come against her with axes, like woodcutters.

Jeremiah 46:22 In-Context

20 Egypt is a beautiful, yes, beautiful heifer, but a horsefly from the north is coming to bite her.
21 Even her mercenaries are like well-fed calves; they too will retreat and run for cover; they won't survive. The day of disaster has come to haunt them, the time of their punishment.
22 Like the sound of a snake hissing as it slithers away is Egypt as armies approach in force; they come against her with axes, like woodcutters.
23 They destroy her dense forest, though it is vast, because they outnumber locusts and can't be counted, declares the LORD.
24 Daughter Egypt will be humiliated, handed over to people from the north.
