11. For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee.
12. By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall: the terrible of the nations are they all: and they shall spoil the pride of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed.
13. And I will destroy all the beasts thereof, from beside the great waters; and the foot of man shall not trouble them any more, nor shall the cloven hoofs of beasts trouble them.
14. Then will I make their waters clear, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord Jehovah.
15. When I shall make the land of Egypt a desolation, and the country shall be left desolate of all that was in it, when I have smitten all them that dwell therein, then shall they know that I am Jehovah.
16. It is a lamentation, and thus they shall lament her: the daughters of the nations shall say it in lamenting; they shall say it in lamenting over Egypt and over all her multitude, saith the Lord Jehovah.
17. And it came to pass in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth of the month, the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
18. Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, her and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the lower parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit.
19. Whom dost thou surpass in beauty? Go down, and be thou laid with the uncircumcised.
