22Egypt will hiss like a fleeing serpent
as the enemy advances in force;
they will come against her with axes,
like men who cut down trees.q
23They will chop down her forest,”
declares the Lord,
“dense though it be.
They are more numerous than locusts,r
they cannot be counted.

like those who fell trees.

because they are more numerous than locusts;
they are without number.

The voice thereof shall go like a serpent;
For they shall march with an army,
And come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.
They shall cut down her forest, saith the Lord,
Though it cannot be searched;
Because they are more than the grasshoppers,
And are innumerable.
