General Information:

Jeremiah's vision for Egypt continues.

What am I seeing here?

The word "I" here refer to Yahweh. Yahweh uses a question to introduce the vision and to draw attention to what he says next. This question can be translated as a statement. Alternate translation: "Look at what is happening here" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion)

their soldiers have been completely destroyed

The phrase "completely destroyed" is an exaggeration for complete defeat. This may be translated in active form. Alternate translation: "the enemy has completely destroyed their soldiers" or "the enemy has killed all their soldiers" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-hyperbole and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive)
