10 I will cause many nations to be appalled at you,and their kings will shudder with fear because of you when I brandish My sword in front of them.On the day of your downfalleach of them will trembleevery moment for his life.
11 For this is what the Lord God says:The sword of Babylon’s kingwill come against you!
12 I will make your hordes fallby the swords of warriors,all of them ruthless men from the nations. They will ravage Egypt’s pride,and all its hordes will be destroyed.
13 I will slaughter all its cattlethat are beside many waters.No human foot will churn them again,and no cattle hooves will disturb them.
14 Then I will let their waters settleand will make their rivers flow like oil.This is the declaration of the Lord God.
15 When I make the land of Egypt a desolation,so that it is emptied of everything in it,when I strike down all who live there,then they will know that I am Yahweh.
16 “This is a lament that will be chanted; the women of the nations will chant it. They will chant it over Egypt and all its hordes.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.
