Jeremiah 46:21 in other translations
Also her hired men are in the midst of her like fatted bullocks; for they also are turned back, and are fled away together: they did not stand, because the day of their calamity was come upon them, and the time of their visitation.
Even the mercenaries among her are like fattened calves. They too will turn back; together they will flee, they will not stand their ground, for the day of calamity is coming upon them— the time of their punishment.

In context
18 As I live, saith the King, Yahweh of hosts, is his name: Though Like Tabor among mountains, Like Carmel, Into the sea shall he go!
19 Baggage for captivity, prepare thee, O inhabitress, daughter of Egypt; For, Noph, shall become a desolation, And be burned without inhabitant.
20 A calf of great beauty, is Egypt: The gad-fly, out of the North, cometh—cometh.
21 Even her hirelings in her midst are like fatted calves, For, even they, have turned—have fled at once! have made no stand! For, their day of doom, hath come upon them, The time of their visitation.
22 Her noise, like a serpent, departeth,—For, with a force, they advance, And with axes, have they come against her, like them who fell trees:
23 They have cut down her forest Declareth Yahweh, Surely he cannot be searched out,—For they have outnumbered locusts, and cannot be counted.
24 Put to shame is the daughter of Egypt,—She hath been delivered into the hand of the people of the North.
