6. I will also water the land with your blood,as far as the mountains;and the rivers shall be full of you.
7. When I put you out, I will cover the heavensand make their stars dark;I will cover the sun with a cloud,and the moon shall not give its light.
8. All the bright lights in the heavensI will make dark over you,and set darkness upon your land,says the Lord God.
9. I will also vex the hearts of many peoples when I bring your destruction among the nations, into the countries which you have not known.
10. Indeed, I will make many peoples amazed at you, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for you when I brandish My sword before them. And they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, on the day of your fall.
11. For thus says the Lord God: The sword of the king of Babylonshall come upon you.
12. By the swords of the mighty,I will cause your multitude to fall.All of them are tyrants of the nations;they shall destroy the pride of Egypt,and all its multitude shall be destroyed.
13. I also will destroy all the beastsfrom beside many waters;nor shall the foot of man muddy them anymore,nor the hoofs of beasts muddy them.
14. Then I will make their waters settle,and cause their rivers to run like oil,says the Lord God.
15. When I make the land of Egypt desolate,and the country is destitute of that by which it was full,when I smite all those who dwell in it,then shall they know that I am the Lord.
16. This is the lamentation, and they shall chant it. The daughters of the nations shall chant it. They shall chant it over Egypt and over all her multitude, says the Lord God.
17. In the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
18. Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt and cast it down, her and the daughters of the powerful nations, to the nether parts of the earth, with those who go down into the pit.
19. “Whom do you surpass in beauty? Descend and make your bed with the uncircumcised.”
20. They shall fall in the midst of those who are slain by the sword. She is delivered to the sword. They have drawn her and all her multitudes away.
21. The strong among the mighty shall speak to him and those who help him out of the midst of Sheol: “They have gone down, they lie still, uncircumcised, slain by the sword.”
22. Assyria is there and all her company. Her graves are around her. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword,
23. whose graves are set in the sides of the pit and her company is all around her grave. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword, who cause terror in the land of the living.
