21Also her hired men in the midst of her are like calves of the stall; for they also are turned back, they are fled away together, they didn`t stand: for the day of their calamity is come on them, the time of their visitation.
22The sound of it shall go like the serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as wood cutters.
23They shall cut down her forest, says Yahweh, though it can`t be searched; because they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable.
24The daughter of Egypt shall be put to shame; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
25Yahweh of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Behold, I will punish Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with her gods, and her kings; even Pharaoh, and those who trust in him:
26and I will deliver them into the hand of those who seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants; and afterwards it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, says Yahweh.
27But don`t be afraid you, Jacob my servant, neither be dismayed, Israel: for, behold, I will save you from afar, and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.
