6. I will drench the land with your flowing bloodas far as the mountains,and the ravines will be full of your flesh.
7. When I make you disappear,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 bring you as a captive into other nations,to lands you have not known.
10. I will cause many people to be shocked about you.Their kings will tremble with fear because of youwhen I swing my sword in front of 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 attack you.
12. I will cause your people to fallby the swords of mighty soldiers,the most terrible in the world.They will destroy the pride of Egyptand all its people.
13. I will also destroy all Egypt’s cattlewhich live alongside much water.The foot of a human will not stir the water,and the hoofs of cattle will not muddy it anymore.
14. So I will let the Egyptians’ water become clear.I will cause their rivers to run as smoothly as olive oil,says the Lord God.
15. When I make the land of Egypt emptyand take everything that is in the land,when I 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; they will sing a funeral song for Egypt and all its people, says the Lord God.”
