19. O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity; for Memphis shall be a pasture and shall be made desolate without an inhabitant.
20. Egypt is like a very fair heifer, but destruction comes; it comes out of the north.
21. Also her soldiers are in the midst of her like fatted bullocks; for they also turned back, and all fled away without stopping: because the day of their calamity was come upon them and the time of their visitation.
22. Her voice shall go forth like a serpent; for they shall march with an army and come against her with axes as hewers of wood.
23. They shall cut down her forest, saith the Lord, for they cannot be counted because they are more than the locusts; they are innumerable.
24. The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
