18 In that day the Lord will (A)whistle for the fly that is in the (a)(B)remotest part of the rivers of Egypt and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria. 19 They will all come and settle on the steep (b)ravines, on the (C)ledges of the cliffs, (D)on all the thorn bushes and on all the (c)watering places.
20 In that day the Lord will (E)shave with a (F)razor, (G)hired from regions beyond (H)the (d)Euphrates (that is, with the king of Assyria), the head and the hair of the legs; and it will also remove the beard.
