Ezekiel 30:10-12
New English Translation
10 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
I will put an end to the hordes of Egypt,
by the hand of King Nebuchadrezzar[a] of Babylon.
11 He and his people with him,
the most terrifying of the nations,[b]
will be brought there to destroy the land.
They will draw their swords against Egypt,
and fill the land with corpses.
12 I will dry up the waterways
and hand the land over to[c] evil men.
I will make the land and everything in it desolate by the hand of foreigners.
I, the Lord, have spoken!

10 Thus says the Lord Yahweh:
“And I will put an end to the crowds[a] of Egypt
by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon.
11 He and his people with him, the most ruthless of nations,
will be brought to destroy the land.
And they will draw their swords against Egypt,
