Jeremiah 46:20

Egypt is a very beautiful heifer
but a "swarm of biting insects" (Hebr. qeres) [Nebuchadnezzar who] comes out of the north, they are coming.
[Hebr. qeres is only used here, the word derives from the word to bite, wave or pull together. It probably refers to a biting or flying insect. The metaphor and parallelism here suggest that it probably refers to a swarm of flies attacking livestock – the heifer Egypt.]
