5. I will scatter your flesh on the hillsand fill the valleys with your bones.
6. I will drench the earth with your gushing bloodall the way to the mountains,filling the ravines to the brim.
7. When I blot you out,I will veil the heavens and darken the stars.I will cover the sun with a cloud,and the moon will not give you its light.
8. I will darken the bright stars overheadand cover your land in darkness.I, the Sovereign lord, have spoken!
9. “I will disturb many hearts when I bring news of your downfall to distant nations you have never seen.
10. Yes, I will shock many lands, and their kings will be terrified at your fate. They will shudder in fear for their lives as I brandish my sword before them on the day of your fall.
11. For this is what the Sovereign lord says:“The sword of the king of Babylonwill come against you.
12. I will destroy your hordes with the swords of mighty warriors—the terror of the nations.They will shatter the pride of Egypt,and all its hordes will be destroyed.
13. I will destroy all your flocks and herdsthat graze beside the streams.Never again will people or animalsmuddy those waters with their feet.
