declares the Lord,

“dense though it be.

They are more numerous than locusts,

they cannot be counted.

23 They shall cut down her forest, saith the Lord, Though it cannot be searched; Because they are more than the grasshoppers, And are innumerable.

23 They will cut down her people like trees,” says the Lord,

“for they are more numerous than locusts.

23 “They shall cut down her forest,” says the Lord,

“Though it cannot be searched,

Because they are innumerable,

And more numerous than grasshoppers.

23 They will chop down Egypt’s army

as if it were a great forest,” says the Lord.

“There are more enemy soldiers than locusts;

there are too many to count.

23 They shall cut down her forest, saith Jehovah, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable.

23 They shall cut down her forest, saith Jehovah, though it be impenetrable; for they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable.

23 They will cut down the forest,” declares the Lord, 

“since Egypt can’t be found. 

They are more numerous than locusts; they can’t be counted. 

23 They will cut down her forest—

this is the Lord’s declaration—

though it is dense,

for they are more numerous than locusts;

they cannot be counted.

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.

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.

23 Egypt is like a thick forest.

But they will chop it down,”

announces the Lord.

“There are more of them than there are locusts.

In fact, they can’t even be counted.

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.
