Jeremiah 46:22

22 Egypt runs away, hissing like a snake, as the enemy's army approaches. They attack her with axes, like people cutting down trees

Jeremiah 46:22 In-Context

20 Egypt is like a splendid cow, attacked by a stinging fly from the north.
21 Even her hired soldiers are helpless as calves. They did not stand and fight; all of them turned and ran. The day of their doom had arrived, the time of their destruction.
22 Egypt runs away, hissing like a snake, as the enemy's army approaches. They attack her with axes, like people cutting down trees
23 and destroying a thick forest. Their soldiers are too many to count; they outnumber the locusts.
24 The people of Egypt are put to shame; they are conquered by the people of the north. I, the Lord, have spoken."
