“Egypt will slither and hiss like a snakeas the enemy army comes in force.They will rush in, swinging axeslike lumberjacks cutting down trees.They’ll level the country”—God’s Decree—“nothingand no one standing for as far as you can see.The invaders will be a swarm of locusts,innumerable, past counting.Daughter Egypt will be ravished,raped by vandals from the north.”
