6 With your blood I will soak your irrigated land,and the streambeds will be filled with you.
7 When you are snuffed out, I will cover the sky,and I will darken the stars.I will cover the sun with a cloud,and the moon won’t radiate its light.
8 As for the shining lights of the heavens,I will make them dark over you,and set darkness over your land.This is what the Lord God says.
9 I will trouble the hearts of many peopleswhen I bring about your destructionwith nations from lands you didn’t know.
10 I will make many peoples appalled because of you.Their kings will shudder violently on your accountwhen I brandish my sword before them.They will tremble for their lives again and againon the day of your downfall.
11 The Lord God proclaims: The sword of the king of Babylon is coming against you!
12 I will make your hordes fall by the swords of mighty men, the most terrifying of the nations, all of them. They will bring an end to Egypt’s pride, and all of its hordes will be destroyed.
