11. For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee.
12. By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall: the terrible of the nations are they all: and they shall spoil the pride of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed.
13. And I will destroy all the beasts thereof, from beside the great waters; and the foot of man shall not trouble them any more, nor shall the cloven hoofs of beasts trouble them.
14. Then will I make their waters clear, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord Jehovah.
15. When I shall make the land of Egypt a desolation, and the country shall be left desolate of all that was in it, when I have smitten all them that dwell therein, then shall they know that I am Jehovah.
16. It is a lamentation, and thus they shall lament her: the daughters of the nations shall say it in lamenting; they shall say it in lamenting over Egypt and over all her multitude, saith the Lord Jehovah.
17. And it came to pass in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth of the month, the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
18. Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, her and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the lower parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit.
19. Whom dost thou surpass in beauty? Go down, and be thou laid with the uncircumcised.
20. They shall fall in the midst of them that are slain by the sword. The sword hath been given: draw her out, and all her multitudes.
21. The strong among the mighty, with them that helped him, shall speak to him out of the midst of Sheol: they are gone down, they lie still, the uncircumcised, slain by the sword.
22. There is Asshur and all his assemblage, his graves round about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword;
23. their graves are set in the sides of the pit, and his assemblage is round about his grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, --who caused terror in the land of the living.
24. There is Elam and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who are gone down uncircumcised unto the lower parts of the earth, who caused their terror in the land of the living; yet have they borne their confusion with them that go down to the pit.
25. They have set him a bed in the midst of the slain, with all his multitude: their graves are round about him, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though their terror was caused in the land of the living; and they have borne their confusion with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of them that are slain.
26. There is Meshech, Tubal, and all their multitude, their graves round about them, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they caused their terror in the land of the living.
27. And they lie not with the mighty, that are fallen of the uncircumcised, who are gone down to Sheol with their weapons of war; and whose swords are laid under their heads, and whose iniquities are upon their bones, though they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living.
28. Thou also shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie with them that are slain with the sword.
