15 I have struck downyour mighty god Apisand chased him away.
16 Your soldiers stumbleover each otherand say, “Get up!The enemy will kill us,unless we can escapeto our own land.”
17 Give the king of Egyptthis new name,“Talks-Big-Does-Nothing”.
18 Egypt, I am the true king,the Lord All-Powerful,and as surely as I live,those enemies who attackwill tower over youlike Mount Tabor among the hillsor Mount Carmel by the sea.
19 You will be led away captive,so pack a few thingsto bring with you.Your capital, Memphis,will lie empty and in ruins.
20 An enemy from the northwill attack you, beautiful Egypt,like a fly biting a cow.
21 The foreign soldiers you hiredwill turn and run.But they are doomed,like well-fed calvesbeing led to the butcher.
