10 “‘The Lord Yahweh says:

“I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease,
    by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
11 He and his people with him,
    the terrible of the nations,
will be brought in to destroy the land.
    They will draw their swords against Egypt,
    and fill the land with the slain.
12 I will make the rivers dry,
    and will sell the land into the hand of evil men.
I will make the land desolate,
    and all that is therein,
    by the hand of strangers:
    I, Yahweh, have spoken it.”

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!’”
