Judgment Executed by Babylon

10

"Adonai ELOHIM says: 'I will destroy the hordes of Egypt through N'vukhadretzar king of Bavel.

11

He and his people, the most barbarous of the nations, will be brought in to ravage the land. They will unsheathe their swords against Egypt and fill the land with corpses.

12

I will dry up the streams of the Nile and sell the land to the wicked. Through the power of foreigners I will make the land and all that is in it desolate. I, ADONAI, have spoken.'

13

"Here is what Adonai ELOHIM says: 'I will destroy the idols, make the false gods in Nof cease to exist. No longer will there be a prince from the land of Egypt; I will put fear in the land of Egypt,

14

desolate Patros, set fire to Tzo'an, execute judgements in No,

15

pour my fury on Seen the stronghold of Egypt, and destroy the hordes of No.

16

Yes, I will set fire to Egypt; Seen will writhe in anguish; No will be torn apart; enemies will attack Nof in broad daylight.

17

The young men of On and Pi-Veset will die by the sword, while the cities themselves will go into captivity.

18

At T'chafn'ches the day will grow dark when I break the yokes of Egypt there, and the pride she takes in her power ceases. A cloud will cover her, and her daughters will go into captivity.

19

Thus will I execute judgments on Egypt. Then they will know that I am ADONAI.'"
