²⁰ They shall fall among those who are killed by the sword. Egypt^[a] has been handed over to the sword; both it and its hordes will be carried away.^[b]

²³ Their graves are set in the uttermost parts of the Pit. Its company is all around its grave, all of them killed, fallen by the sword, who spread terror in the land of the living.^(A)

²⁴ Elam is there and all its hordes around its grave, all of them killed, fallen by the sword, who went down uncircumcised into the world below, who spread terror in the land of the living. They bear their shame with those who go down to the Pit.^{(B) 25} They have made Elam^[a] a bed among the slain with all its hordes, their graves all around it, all of them uncircumcised, killed by the sword, for terror of them was spread in the land of the living, and they bear their shame with those who go down to the Pit; they are placed among the slain.^(C)

²⁶ Meshech and Tubal are there, and all their multitude, their graves all around them, all of them uncircumcised, pierced by the sword, for they spread terror in the land of the living.^(D)

²⁹ Edom is there, its kings and all its princes, who for all their might are laid with those who are killed by the sword; they lie with the uncircumcised, with those who go down to the Pit.^(A)

³⁰ The princes of the north are there, all of them, and all the Sidonians, who have gone down in shame with the slain, for all the terror that they caused by their might; they lie uncircumcised with those who are killed by the sword and bear their shame with those who go down to the Pit.^(B)

⁸ Therefore, thus says the Lord God: I will bring a sword upon you and will cut off from you human and animal,^{(A) 9} and the land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.

Because you^[a] said, “The Nile is mine, and I made it,” ¹⁰ therefore, I am against you and against your channels, and I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from Migdol to Syene, as far as the border of Cush.^{(B) 11} No human foot shall pass through it, and no animal foot shall pass through it; it shall be uninhabited forty years.^{(C) 12} I will make the land of Egypt a desolation among desolated countries, and her cities shall be a desolation forty years among cities that are laid waste. I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the countries.^(D)
