⁷ I am going to bring foreigners against you,
    the most ruthless of nations;^(A)
they will draw their swords against your beauty and wisdom^(B)
    and pierce your shining splendor.^(C)

¹⁸ Dark will be the day at Tahpanhes^(A)
    when I break the yoke of Egypt;^(B)
    there her proud strength will come to an end.
She will be covered with clouds,
    and her villages will go into captivity.^(C)
