12 I’m going to make your gangs die using the weapons of valiant warriors, all of whom are ruthless people.

‘They will devastate the majesty of Egypt,
    destroying all of its hordes.
13 I’m going to destroy all of its livestock
    along its many riverbanks.

    and their rivers flow like olive oil,’[a]
        declares the Lord God.”
