7. And when thou art dead, I will cover the heavens and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.
8. All the bright lights of heaven I will make dark because of thee and set darkness upon thy land, said the Lord GOD.
9. I will also make the hearts of many peoples sad when I shall bring thy destruction upon the Gentiles, into the countries which thou hast not known.
10. And I will make many peoples amazed at thee and their kings shall be horribly afraid because of thee, when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of thy fall.
11. For thus hath the Lord GOD said: The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee.
12. By the swords of the mighty I will cause thy people to fall; they shall all be the strong of the Gentiles and they shall destroy the pride of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be undone.
13. I will also destroy all the beasts thereof from upon the many waters; neither shall the foot of man, nor the hoofs of beasts foul them any more.
14. Then I will make their waters deepen and cause their channels to run like oil, said the Lord GOD.
15. When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate and the fullness of the land shall be taken away when I shall smite all those that dwell therein, then they shall know that I am the Lord.
16. This is the lamentation, and they shall sing it; the daughters of the Gentiles shall sing it: they shall lament over Egypt and over all her multitude, said the Lord GOD.
17. It also came to pass in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
18. Son of man, lament over the multitude of Egypt and cast him down and the habitations of the strong Gentiles into the lower parts of the earth with those that go down into the grave.
19. Because thou art so beautiful, go down, and be laid with the uncircumcised.
20. They shall fall in the midst of those that are slain by the sword; he is delivered to the sword; bring him and all his peoples.
21. The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of Sheol with those that help him: they are gone down; they lie with the uncircumcised, slain by the sword.
22. Asshur is there and all his company; his graves are about him; all of them slain, fallen by the sword:
23. whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and his company is round about his grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which caused terror in the land of the living.
