Jeremiah 46:22

Messages Concerning Egypt

²¹ “Also her mercenaries in her midst
Are like fattened calves,
For even they too have turned back and have fled away together;
They did not stand their ground.
For the day of their calamity has come upon them,
The time of their punishment.
²² “Its sound moves along like a serpent;
For they move on like an army
And come to her as woodcutters with axes.
²³ “They have cut down her forest,” declares the Lord;
“Surely it will no more be found,
Even though they are now more numerous than locusts
And are without number.

‘Since you were laid low, no tree cutter comes up against us.’

Isaiah 29:4

From the earth you will speak,
And from the dust where you are prostrate
Your words will come.
Your voice will also be like that of a spirit from the ground,
And your speech will whisper from the dust.

Isaiah 10:15

Is the axe to boast itself over the one who chops with it?
Is the saw to exalt itself over the one who wields it?
That would be like a club wielding those who lift it,
Or like a rod lifting him who is not wood.

Those also who are tall in stature will be cut down
And those who are lofty will be abased.

“Through your servants you have reproached the Lord,
And you have said, ‘With my many chariots I came up to the heights of the mountains,
To the remotest parts of Lebanon;
And I cut down its tall cedars and its choice cypresses.
And I will go to its highest peak, its thickest forest.

And with you I shatter nations,
And with you I destroy kingdoms.

I must go barefoot and naked;
I must make a lament like the jackals
And a mourning like the ostriches.

Of all their might.
They will put their hand on their mouth,
Their ears will be deaf.

Because the glorious trees have been destroyed;
Wail, O oaks of Bashan,
For the impenetrable forest has come down.
