Jeremiah 46:21
_ _ Translate, “Also her hired men (mercenary soldiers, Jeremiah 46:9, Jeremiah 46:16), who are in the midst of her like fatted bullocks, even they also are turned back,” that is, shall turn their backs to flee. The same image, “heifer ... bullocks” (Jeremiah 46:20, Jeremiah 46:21), is applied to Egypt’s foreign mercenaries, as to herself. Pampered with the luxuries of Egypt, they become as enervated for battle as the natives themselves. |

Also her hired men (r) [are] in the midst of her like fatted bulls; for they also have turned back, [and] have fled away together: they did not stand, because the day of their calamity had come upon them, [and] the time of their judgment.
(r) As in (Jeremiah 46:9). |
