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 animals From 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 lamentation With 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."
17
It came to pass also in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
18
"Son of man, wail over the multitude of Egypt, And cast them down to the depths of the earth, Her and the daughters of the famous nations, With those who go down to the Pit:
19
'Whom do you surpass in beauty? Go down, be placed with the uncircumcised.'
20
"They shall fall in the midst of those slain by the sword; She is delivered to the sword, Drawing her and all her multitudes.
21
The strong among the mighty Shall speak to him out of the midst of hell With those who help him: 'They have gone down, They lie with the uncircumcised, slain by the sword.'
22
"Assyria is there, and all her company, With their graves all around her, All of them slain, fallen by the sword.
