8. ‘All the bright lights of the heavens I shall make dark over you, and I shall bring darkness upon your land,’ declares the Master יהוה.
9. ‘And I shall trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I bring your destruction among the nations, into the lands which you have not known.
10. ‘And I shall make many peoples appalled at you, and their sovereigns shall be greatly afraid of you when I swing My sword before them. And they shall tremble continually, every man for his own life, in the day of your fall.’
11. “For thus said the Master יהוה, ‘The sword of the sovereign of Baḇel shall come upon you.
12. ‘By the swords of the mighty men, all of them the ruthless ones of the nations, I shall make your host fall. And they shall ravage the arrogance of Mitsrayim, and all its host shall be destroyed.

21. “The mightiest among the mighty speak to him out of the midst of the grave with those who help him, ‘They have gone down, they lie with the uncircumcised, slain by the sword.’
22. “Ashshur is there, and all her assembly, with their graves all around her, all of them slain, fallen by the sword,
23. whose graves are set in the sides of the Pit, and her assembly is all around her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, because they instilled fear in the land of the living.
