22 Like the sound of a snake hissing
    as it slithers away
        is Egypt[a] as armies approach in force;
        they come against her with axes,
            like woodcutters.
23 They destroy her dense forest,
    though it is vast,
        because they outnumber locusts
        and can’t be counted,
            declares the Lord.
24 Daughter Egypt will be humiliated,
    handed over to people from the north.
