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.	They shall cut down her forest, saith the LORD, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and [are] innumerable.	The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
