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.

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.

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.

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

Even the cypresses and the cedars of Lebanon rejoice over you:“ Since you have been laid low, no lumberjack has come against us.”

You will be brought down; you will speak from the ground, and your words will come from low in the dust. Your voice will be like that of a spirit from the ground; your speech will whisper from the dust.

Nations will see and be ashamed of all their power. They will put their hands over their mouths, and their ears will become deaf.

Wail, cypress, for the cedar has fallen; the glorious trees are destroyed! Wail, oaks of Bashan, for the stately forest has fallen!

You are my war club, my weapons of war. With you I will smash nations; with you I will bring kingdoms to ruin.With you I will smash the horse and its rider; with you I will smash the chariot and its rider.With you I will smash man and woman; with you I will smash the old man and the youth; with you I will smash the young man and the young woman.With you I will smash the shepherd and his flock; with you I will smash the farmer and his ox-team. With you I will smash governors and officials.

Because of this I will lament and wail; I will walk barefoot and naked. I will howl like the jackals and mourn like ostriches.

You have mocked the Lord through your servants. You have said,“ With my many chariots I have gone up to the heights of the mountains, to the far recesses of Lebanon. I cut down its tallest cedars, its choice cypress trees. I came to its distant heights, its densest forest.

Look, the Lord GOD of Armies will chop off the branches with terrifying power, and the tall trees will be cut down, the high trees felled.He is clearing the thickets of the forest with an ax, and Lebanon with its majesty will fall.

Does an ax exalt itself above the one who chops with it? Does a saw magnify itself above the one who saws with it? It would be like a rod waving the ones who lift it! It would be like a staff lifting the one who isn’t wood!
