10. I will shock many peoples with you,and their kings will shiver with horror because of you.When I brandish my sword before them,every moment each one will tremble for his life, on the day of your fall.
11. “‘For this is what the sovereign Lord says: “‘The sword of the king of Babylon will attack you.
12. By the swords of the mighty warriors I will cause your hordes to fall – all of them are the most terrifying among the nations.They will devastate the pride of Egypt,and all its hordes will be destroyed.
13. I will destroy all its cattle beside the plentiful waters;and no human foot will disturb the waters again,nor will the hooves of cattle disturb them.
14. Then I will make their waters calm,and will make their streams flow like olive oil, declares the sovereign Lord.
15. When I turn the land of Egypt into desolation and the land is destitute of everything that fills it,when I strike all those who live in it,then they will know that I am the Lord.’
16. This is a lament; they will chant it.The daughters of the nations will chant it.They will chant it over Egypt and over all her hordes,declares the sovereign Lord.”
17. In the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:
18. “Son of man, wail over the horde of Egypt. Bring it down; bring her and the daughters of powerful nations down to the lower parts of the earth, along with those who descend to the pit.
19. Say to them, ‘Whom do you surpass in beauty? Go down and be laid to rest with the uncircumcised!’
20. They will fall among those killed by the sword. The sword is drawn; they carry her and all her hordes away.
21. The bravest of the warriors will speak to him from the midst of Sheol along with his allies, saying: ‘The uncircumcised have come down; they lie still, killed by the sword.’
22. “Assyria is there with all her assembly around her grave, all of them struck down by the sword.
23. Their graves are located in the remote slopes of the pit. Her assembly is around her grave, all of them struck down by the sword, those who spread terror in the land of the living.
24. “Elam is there with all her hordes around her grave; all of them struck down by the sword. They went down uncircumcised to the lower parts of the earth, those who spread terror in the land of the living. Now they will bear their shame with those who descend to the pit.
25. Among the dead they have made a bed for her, along with all her hordes around her grave. All of them are uncircumcised, killed by the sword, for their terror had spread in the land of the living. They bear their shame along with those who descend to the pit; they are placed among the dead.
26. “Meshech-Tubal is there, along with all her hordes around her grave. All of them are uncircumcised, killed by the sword, for they spread their terror in the land of the living.
