Parallel
Jeremiah 46:22
Jewish Publication Society 1917 · Berean Standard Bible
The sound thereof shall go like the serpent’s; For they march with an army, And come against her with axes, As hewers of wood.
Egypt will hiss like a fleeing serpent (note: Hebrew nachash; translated in most cases as snake), for the enemy will advance in force; with axes they will come against her like woodsmen cutting down trees.
