8 The heavens will become black, leaving your country in total darkness. I, the Lord God, have spoken.
9 Foreign nations you have never heard of will be shocked when I tell them how I destroyed you.
10 They will be horrified, and when I flash my sword in victory on the day of your death, their kings will tremble in the fear of what could happen to them.
11 The king of Babylonia is coming to attack you, king of Egypt!
12 Your soldiers will be killed by the cruelest army in the world, and everything you take pride in will be crushed.
13 I will slaughter your cattle that graze by the river, and no people or livestock will be left to muddy its water.
14 The water will be clear, and streams will be calm. I, the Lord God, have spoken.
