12. I will cause your people to fallby the swords of mighty soldiers.They are the most terrible of all the nations.They will destroy the pride of Egypt.All Egypt’s people will be destroyed.
13. I will also destroy all Egypt’s cattlewhich live alongside many waters.The foot of man will not stir the waters.And the hooves of cattle will not muddy them anymore.
14. So I will let the Egyptians’ waters become quiet.I will cause their rivers to run as smoothly as olive oil,says the Lord God.
15. I will make the land of Egypt empty.I will take everything that is in the land.I will destroy all those who live in Egypt.Then they will know that I am the Lord.’
16. “This is the funeral song people will sing for Egypt. The women of the nations will sing it for Egypt. They will sing a funeral song for Egypt and all its people, says the Lord God.”
