This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Translate, “Also her hired men (mercenary soldiers, Jer 46:9, Jer 46:16), who are in the midst of her like fatted bullocks, even they also are turned back,” that is, shall turn their backs to flee. The same image, “heifer ... bullocks” (Jer 46:20, Jer 46:21), is applied to Egypt’s foreign mercenaries, as to herself. Pampered with the luxuries of Egypt, they become as enervated for battle as the natives themselves.
