Here the armies of Egypt and Assyria are spoken of as if they are insects that will invade the land of Israel. This can be stated as a simile. Alternate translation: "for the armies of Egypt and Assyria, and their soldiers will be everywhere like flies and bees" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]]and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile]])
