Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 46:22

22 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 .

Egypt is now like an [illegible: 1 letter]eifer that makes a great bellowing, but the time shall come when she shall make a lesser noise like the hissing of a Serpent, when it seeth it self set upon.

For the Caldeans shall come with a great Army, armed with Battle-Axes, as if they came to fell down some Wood in a Forest, or Wood.
