4. I will leave you on the land, I will cast you out on the open field, and will cause all the birds of the sky to settle on you, and I will satisfy the animals of the whole earth with you.
5. I will lay your flesh on the mountains, and fill the valleys with your height.
6. I will also water with your blood the land in which you swim, even to the mountains; and the watercourses shall be full of you.
7. When I shall extinguish you, I will cover the heavens, and make its stars dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give its light.
8. I will make all the bright lights of the sky dark over you, and set darkness on your land, says the Lord Yahweh.
9. I will also trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I shall bring your destruction among the nations, into the countries which you have not known.
10. Yes, I will make many peoples amazed at you, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for you, when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of your fall.
11. For thus says the Lord Yahweh: The sword of the king of Babylon shall come on you.
12. By the swords of the mighty will I cause your multitude to fall; they are all the ruthless of the nations: and they shall bring to nothing the pride of Egypt, and all its multitude shall be destroyed.
13. I will destroy also all its animals from beside many waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of animals trouble them.
14. Then will I make their waters clear, and cause their rivers to run like oil, says the Lord Yahweh.
15. When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate and waste, a land destitute of that of which it was full, when I shall strike all those who dwell therein, then shall they know that I am Yahweh.
16. This is the lamentation with which they shall lament; the daughters of the nations shall lament therewith; over Egypt, and over all her multitude, shall they lament therewith, says the Lord Yahweh.
17. Also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
18. Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her, and the daughters of the famous nations, to the lower parts of the earth, with those who go down into the pit.
19. Whom do you pass in beauty? Go down, and be laid with the uncircumcised.
20. They shall fall among those who are slain by the sword: she is delivered to the sword; draw her away and all her multitudes.
21. The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the middle of Sheol with those who help him: they are gone down, they lie still, even the uncircumcised, slain by the sword.
