Jeremiah 46:22

22 She makes a sound like a snake gliding away; for her enemies march in force, and come against her with axes, like those who fell trees.

Jeremiah 46:22 In-Context

20 A beautiful heifer is Egypt— a gadfly from the north lights upon her.
21 Even her mercenaries in her midst are like fatted calves; they too have turned and fled together, they did not stand; for the day of their calamity has come upon them, the time of their punishment.
22 She makes a sound like a snake gliding away; for her enemies march in force, and come against her with axes, like those who fell trees.
23 They shall cut down her forest, says the Lord, though it is impenetrable, because they are more numerous than locusts; they are without number.
24 Daughter Egypt shall be put to shame; she shall be handed over to a people from the north.
