6. I will drench the land with your flowing bloodall the way to the mountains,and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.
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. 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.
15. When I make Egypt desolateand strip the land of everything in it,when I strike down all who live there,then they will know that I am the Lord.”
