6. "I will also make the land drink the discharge of your blood As far as the mountains, And the ravines will be full of you.
7. "And when I extinguish you, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars; I will cover the sun with a cloud And the moon will not give its light.
8. "All the shining lights in the heavens I will darken over you And will set darkness on your land," Declares the Lord God.
9. "I will also trouble the hearts of many peoples when I bring your destruction among the nations, into lands which you have not known.
10. I will make many peoples appalled at you, and their kings will be horribly afraid of you when I brandish My sword before them; and they will tremble 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 Babylon will come upon you.
12. By the swords of the mighty ones I will cause your hordes to fall; all of them are tyrants of the nations, And they will devastate the pride of Egypt, And all its hordes will be destroyed.
13. "I will also destroy all its cattle from beside many waters; And the foot of man will not muddy them anymore And the hoofs of beasts will not muddy them.
14. "Then I will make their waters settle And will cause their rivers to run like oil," Declares the Lord God.
15. "When I make the land of Egypt a desolation, And the land is destitute of that which filled it, When I smite all those who live in it, Then they shall know that I am the Lord.
16. This is a lamentation and they shall chant it. The daughters of the nations shall chant it. Over Egypt and over all her hordes they shall chant it," declares the Lord God.
17. In the twelfth year, on the fifteenth of the month, the word of the Lord came to me saying,
18. "Son of man, wail for the hordes of Egypt and bring it down, her and the daughters of the powerful nations, to the nether world, with those who go down to the pit;
19. 'Whom do you surpass in beauty? Go down and make your bed with the uncircumcised.'
20. They shall fall in the midst of those who are slain by the sword. She is given over to the sword; they have drawn her and all her hordes away.
21. The strong among the mighty ones shall speak of him and his helpers from the midst of Sheol, 'They have gone down, they lie still, the uncircumcised, slain by the sword.'
