jeremiah 46:23 They shall cut down her forest, saith the LORD, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and are innumerable.

jeremiah 46:23 "They have cut down her forest," declares the LORD; "Surely it will no [more] be found, Even though they are [now] more numerous than locusts And are without number.

23. her forest-- (Isa 10:34).
though it cannot be searched--They cut down her forest, dense and unsearchable (Job 5:9; 9:10; 36:26) as it may seem: referring to the thickly set cities of Egypt, which were at that time a thousand and twenty. The Hebrew particle is properly, "for," "because."
because--the reason why the Chaldeans shall be able to cut down so dense a forest of cities as Egypt: they themselves are countless in numbers.
grasshoppers--locusts (Jud 6:5).

jeremiah 46:23 "They have cut down her forest," declares the LORD; "Surely it will no [more] be found, Even though they are [now] more numerous than locusts And are without number.
