|
* **stinging insect** - This refers the army of the nation of Babylon. A stinging insect would cause painful sores but would otherwise not cause permanent harm to the animal stung. (See: [[:en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_metaphor]])

* **They will not stand together** - The writer is saying that the soldiers will not fight as a unit but will run away thinking only of saving themselves.
|
|
* **Egypt hisses like a snake and crawls away** - The writer is saying that the nation of Egypt is like snakes that can do nothing but hiss and crawl away in fear when woodcutters disturb their nest. (See: [[:en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_simile]])
