Ezekiel 32:7-15 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

7. When I snuff you out,I will cover the heavensand darken their stars.I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not give its light.

8. I will darken all the shining lightsin the heavens over you,and will bring darkness on your land.This is the declaration of the Lord God.

9. I will trouble the hearts of many peoples,when I bring about your destructionamong the nations,in countries you do not know.

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.
