Messages Concerning Egypt

¹⁹ “Make your baggage ready for exile,
O daughter dwelling in Egypt,
For Memphis will become a desolation;
It will even be burned down and bereft of inhabitants.
²⁰ “Egypt is a pretty heifer,
But a horsefly is coming from the north—it is coming!
²¹ “Also her mercenaries in her midst
Are like fattened calves,
For even they too have turned back and have fled away together;
They did not stand their ground.
For the day of their calamity has come upon them,
The time of their punishment.
