Jeremiah 46:23 in Context — Jeremiah 46

21 Até seus soldados mercenários em meio dela são como bezerros cevados; porém também eles se virarão para trás, e juntamente fugirão; eles não permanecerão em postos, porque o dia de sua ruína, o tempo de sua punição, veio sobre eles.

22 Seu ruído sairá como de serpente; pois [seus inimigos] virão com poder; a ela virão com machados, como se fossem cortadores de lenha.

23 Cortarão o seu bosque,diz o SENHOR, ainda que não possam ser contados; porque são mais que gafanhotos, não se pode enumerá- los.

24 A filha do Egito será envergonhada; entregue será nas mãos do povo do norte.

25 Diz o SENHOR dos exércitos, Deus de Israel: Eis que eu punirei a Amom de Nô, a Faraó e ao Egito; a seus deuses e a seus reis; tanto a Faraó como aos que nele confiam.
