4. I will leave you on the ground,I will fling you on the open field,I will allow all the birds of the sky to settle on you,and I will permit all the wild animals to gorge themselves on you.
5. I will put your flesh on the mountains,and fill the valleys with your maggot-infested carcass.
6. I will drench the land with the flow of your blood up to the mountains, and the ravines will be full of your blood.
7. When I extinguish you, I will cover the sky;I will darken its stars.I will cover the sun with a cloud,and the moon will not shine.
8. I will darken all the lights in the sky over you,and I will darken your land,declares the sovereign Lord.
9. I will disturb many peoples,when I bring about your destruction among the nations,among countries you do not know.
10. I will shock many peoples with you,and their kings will shiver with horror because of you.When I brandish my sword before them,every moment each one will tremble for his life, on the day of your fall.
11. “‘For this is what the sovereign Lord says: “‘The sword of the king of Babylon will attack you.
12. By the swords of the mighty warriors I will cause your hordes to fall – all of them are the most terrifying among the nations.They will devastate the pride of Egypt,and all its hordes will be destroyed.
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.’
