8 All the shining lights in the heavensI will darken over you;I will bring darkness over your land,declares the Sovereign Lord.
9 I will trouble the hearts of many peopleswhen I bring about your destruction among the nations,among lands you have not known.
10 I will cause many peoples to be appalled at you,and their kings will shudder with horror because of youwhen I brandish my sword before them.On the day of your downfalleach of them will trembleevery moment for his life.
11 ‘ “For this is what the Sovereign Lord says:‘ “The sword of the king of Babylonwill come against you.
12 I will cause your hordes to fallby the swords of mighty men –the most ruthless of all nations.They will shatter the pride of Egypt,and all her hordes will be overthrown.
13 I will destroy all her cattlefrom beside abundant watersno longer to be stirred by the foot of manor muddied by the hooves of cattle.
14 Then I will let her waters settleand make her streams flow like oil,declares the Sovereign Lord.
