9. “I will disturb the hearts of many peoples when I bring about your destruction among the nations, into lands you have not known.
10. I will make many people appalled at you. Their kings will be totally aghast at you when I brandish My sword over you. They will shudder every moment, every man for his own life, on the day of your downfall.”
11. For thus says Adonai Elohim: “The sword of the king of Babylon will come upon you.
12. By the swords of the mighty I will cause your multitude to fall. They are all ruthless among the nations. They will devastate the pride of Egypt. All of its multitude will be annihilated.
13. I will destroy all the beasts from beside plentiful water. No human foot will muddy them again, nor will hoofs of beasts muddy them.
14. Then I will make their waters settle and make their streams flow like oil.” It is a declaration of Adonai.
15. “When I make the land of Egypt desolate and waste when it was previously full, when I strike all that live there, they will know that I am Adonai.
16. This is the funeral song —chant it, daughters of the nations, chant for Egypt. All her multitude will chant it.” It is a declaration of Adonai.
17. On the fifteenth day of the month in the twelfth year, the word of Adonai came to me saying:
18. “Son of man, wail over Egypt’s throng. Bring them down —her and the daughters of lofty nations, to the underworld, to those who go down to the pit.
19. Who do you surpass in beauty? Go down, lie with the uncircumcised.
20. They fall among those slain by the sword. She is given over to the sword. They drag her down with all her throng.
21. The strongest warriors will speak of him and his allies from the midst of Sheol. They have gone down, they lie still, the uncircumcised, slain by the sword.
