10 This is what the Lord God says:I will put an end to the hordes of Egyptby the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
11 He along with his people,ruthless men from the nations,will be brought in to destroy the land.They will draw their swords against Egyptand fill the land with the slain.
12 I will make the streams dryand sell the land into the hands of evil men. I will bring desolationon the land and everything in itby the hands of foreigners.I, Yahweh, have spoken.
13 This is what the Lord God says:I will destroy the idols and put an endto the false gods in Memphis. There will no longer bea prince from the land of Egypt.So I will instill fear in that land.
14 I will make Pathros desolate,set fire to Zoan,and execute judgments on Thebes.
15 I will pour out My wrath on Pelusium,the stronghold of Egypt,and will wipe out the crowds of Thebes.
16 I will set fire to Egypt;Pelusium will writhe in anguish,Thebes will be breached,and Memphis will face foes in broad daylight.
