Jeremiah 46:22

Jer 46:22 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.

Ver. 22. The voice thereof (of Egypt) shall go like a serpent.] a Submissa voce loquetur. She shall hiss and whisper, as being daunted and damped, scarce able to mutter or utter aught for fear. Isa 29:4

a Vox trepida et prae metu instar serpentum stridula.
