“‘The Lord GOD says:
“I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease,
by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
11
He and his people with him,
the terrible of the nations,
will be brought in to destroy the land.
They will draw their swords against Egypt,
and fill the land with the slain.
12
I will make the rivers dry,
and will sell the land into the hand of evil men.
I will make the land desolate,
and all that is therein,
by the hand of foreigners.
I, the LORD, have spoken it.”
