10 ‘This is what the Lord God says:

(A)I will also make the [a]hordes of Egypt cease
By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
11 He and his people with him,
(B)The most ruthless of the nations,
Will be brought in to destroy the land;
And they will draw their swords against Egypt
And fill the land with the slain.
12 Moreover, I will make the (C)Nile canals dry
And (D)sell the land into the hands of evil men.
And I will make the land desolate
And [b]all that is in it,
By the hand of strangers; I the Lord have spoken.”

10 “This is what the Lord says:

‘I’m putting an end to that gang from Egypt,
    and I’m going to use King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, to do it!
11 He and his ruthless army with him will be brought
    to destroy the land.
They’ll draw their swords and attack[a] Egypt,
    filling the land with the dead!
12 I’ll dry up their waterways,
    and evil men will sell off the land.
I’m going to make that land desolate,
    along with everything that’s in it,
and I’m going to use foreigners to do it.
    I, the Lord have spoken!’”
