Jeremiah 46:23

23 They will cut down her people like trees,” says the LORD, “for they are more numerous than locusts.

Jeremiah 46:23 In-Context

21 Egypt’s mercenaries have become like fattened calves. They, too, will turn and run, for it is a day of great disaster for Egypt, a time of great punishment.
22 Egypt flees, silent as a serpent gliding away. The invading army marches in; they come against her with axes like woodsmen.
23 They will cut down her people like trees,” says the LORD, “for they are more numerous than locusts.
24 Egypt will be humiliated; she will be handed over to people from the north.”
25 The LORD of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: “I will punish Amon, the god of Thebes, and all the other gods of Egypt. I will punish its rulers and Pharaoh, too, and all who trust in him.
