Jeremiah 46:22

22 Her sound [is] like a snake [that] glides away, for they march in force. And with axes they come to her like those who chop trees.

Jeremiah 46:22 In-Context

20 Egypt [is] a beautiful heifer, [but] a gadfly from [the] north [will] come against her.
21 Even her mercenaries in her midst [are] like calves of fattening, for they also have turned away, they have fled together. They stand not, for the day of their calamity has come, the time of their punishment.
22 Her sound [is] like a snake [that] glides away, for they march in force. And with axes they come to her like those who chop trees.
23 They will cut down her forest," {declares} Yahweh, "for {it is impenetrable}. Yes, they are more numerous than locusts, and {they are without number}.
24 The daughter of Egypt will be ashamed, she will be given into the hand of [the] people of [the] north."
