Egypt will run away, hissing like a snake, as the enemy comes marching up in force. They will come against her with axes as if they were woodsmen chopping down trees.

Egypt 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.

The Egyptians will hiss like a snake that is trying to get away. A powerful army will advance against them. Their enemies will come against them with axes. They will be like those who cut down trees.

“ She makes a sound like a serpent gliding away; for her enemies march in force and come against her with axes like those who fell trees.

Egypt flees, silent as a serpent gliding away. The invading army marches in; they come against her with axes like woodsmen.

Egypt will hiss like a slithering snake, for the enemy will come with an army; with axes they will come against her like those who cut trees.

Its sound moves along like a serpent; For they move on like an army And come to her as woodcutters with axes.

Her noise shall go like a serpent, For they shall march with an army And come against her with axes, Like those who chop wood.

The sound thereof shall go like the serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.

Egypt will hiss like a slithering snake, for the enemy will come with an army; with axes they will come against her like those who cut trees.

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.

Its sound will go like the serpent; for they will march with an army, and come against her with axes, as wood cutters.

The evergreens also rejoice over your demise, as do the cedars of Lebanon, singing,‘ Since you fell asleep, no woodsman comes up to chop us down!’

You will fall; while lying on the ground you will speak; from the dust where you lie, your words will be heard. Your voice will sound like a spirit speaking from the underworld; from the dust you will chirp as if muttering an incantation.

Nations will see this and be disappointed by all their strength, they will put their hands over their mouths, and act as if they were deaf.

Howl, fir tree, because the cedar has fallen; the majestic trees have been destroyed. Howl, oaks of Bashan, because the impenetrable forest has fallen.

“ Babylon, you are my war club, my weapon for battle. I used you to smash nations. I used you to destroy kingdoms.I used you to smash horses and their riders. I used you to smash chariots and their drivers.I used you to smash men and women. I used you to smash old men and young men. I used you to smash young men and young women.I used you to smash shepherds and their flocks. I used you to smash farmers and their teams of oxen. I used you to smash governors and leaders.”

For this reason I will mourn and wail; I will walk around barefoot and without my outer garments. I will howl like a wild dog, and screech like an owl.

Through your messengers you taunted the sovereign master,‘ With my many chariots I climbed up the high mountains, the slopes of Lebanon. I cut down its tall cedars and its best evergreens. I invaded its most remote regions, its thickest woods.

Look, the sovereign master, the LORD who commands armies, is ready to cut off the branches with terrifying power. The tallest trees will be cut down, the loftiest ones will be brought low.The thickets of the forest will be chopped down with an ax, and mighty Lebanon will fall.

Does an ax exalt itself over the one who wields it, or a saw magnify itself over the one who cuts with it? As if a scepter should brandish the one who raises it, or a staff should lift up what is not made of wood!
