3. “‘This is what the Lord God says:I will spread my net over you.And I will use a large group of peopleto pull you up in my net.
4. Then I will throw you on the land.I will toss you into the open field.I will let the birds of the sky rest on you.And I will let the animals of the earth eat you until they are full.
5. I will scatter your flesh on the mountains.And I will fill the valleys with what is left of you.
6. I will drench the land with your flowing blood.I will soak the mountains,and the ravines will be full of your flesh.
7. I will make you disappear.And I will cover the sky and make the stars dark.I will cover the sun with a cloud.And the moon will not shine.
8. I will make all the shining lights in the skybecome dark over you.I will bring darkness over your land,says the Lord God.
9. I will cause many people to be afraidwhen I have another nation destroy you.Nations you have not known will be afraid because of you.
10. I will cause people to be shocked about you.Their kings will tremble with fear because of youwhen I swing my sword before them.They will shake every momenton the day you fall.Each king will be afraid for his own life.
11. “‘So this is what the Lord God says:The sword of the king of Babylonwill come on you.
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.
