18. In that day the Lord will whistle for flies from the Nile delta in Egypt and for bees from the land of Assyria.
19. They will all come and settle in the steep ravines and in the crevices in the rocks, on all the thornbushes and at all the water holes.
20. In that day the Lord will use a razor hired from beyond the River Euphrates – the king of Assyria – to shave your heads and private parts, and to cut off your beards also.
