7. When I put out your light,I will cover the heavens, and make its stars dark;I will cover the sun with a cloud,And the moon shall not give her light.
8. All the bright lights of the heavens I will make dark over you,And bring darkness upon your land,”Says the Lord God.
9. ‘I will also trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I bring your destruction among the nations, into the countries which you have not known.
10. Yes, I will make many peoples astonished at you, and their kings shall be horribly afraid of you when I brandish My sword before them; and they shall tremble every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of your fall.
11. ‘For thus says the Lord God: “The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon you.
12. By the swords of the mighty warriors, all of them the most terrible of the nations, I will cause your multitude to fall.“They shall plunder the pomp of Egypt,And all its multitude shall be destroyed.
13. Also I will destroy all its animalsFrom beside its great waters;The foot of man shall muddy them no more,Nor shall the hooves of animals muddy them.
14. Then I will make their waters clear,And make their rivers run like oil,”Says the Lord God.
15. “When I make the land of Egypt desolate,And the country is destitute of all that once filled it,When I strike all who dwell in it,Then they shall know that I am the Lord.
