11. ‘For thus says the Lord God: “The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon you.
12. By the swords of the mighty warriors, all of them the most terrible of the nations, I will cause your multitude to fall.“They shall plunder the pomp of Egypt,And all its multitude shall be destroyed.
13. Also I will destroy all its animalsFrom beside its great waters;The foot of man shall muddy them no more,Nor shall the hooves of animals muddy them.
14. Then I will make their waters clear,And make their rivers run like oil,”Says the Lord God.
15. “When I make the land of Egypt desolate,And the country is destitute of all that once filled it,When I strike all who dwell in it,Then they shall know that I am the Lord.
16. “This is the lamentationWith which they shall lament her;The daughters of the nations shall lament her;They shall lament for her, for Egypt,And for all her multitude,”Says the Lord God.’ ”
