13. I will destroy all its cattle beside the plentiful waters;and no human foot will disturb the waters again,nor will the hooves of cattle disturb them.
14. Then I will make their waters calm,and will make their streams flow like olive oil, declares the sovereign Lord.
15. When I turn the land of Egypt into desolation and the land is destitute of everything that fills it,when I strike all those who live in it,then they will know that I am the Lord.’
16. This is a lament; they will chant it.The daughters of the nations will chant it.They will chant it over Egypt and over all her hordes,declares the sovereign Lord.”
17. In the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:
18. “Son of man, wail over the horde of Egypt. Bring it down; bring her and the daughters of powerful nations down to the lower parts of the earth, along with those who descend to the pit.
19. Say to them, ‘Whom do you surpass in beauty? Go down and be laid to rest with the uncircumcised!’
20. They will fall among those killed by the sword. The sword is drawn; they carry her and all her hordes away.
