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 “For this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
By the power of King Nebuchadnezzar[a] of Babylon,
    I will destroy the hordes of Egypt.
11 He and his armies—the most ruthless of all—
    will be sent to demolish the land.
They will make war against Egypt
    until slaughtered Egyptians cover the ground.
12 I will dry up the Nile River
    and sell the land to wicked men.
I will destroy the land of Egypt and everything in it
    by the hands of foreigners.
    I, the Lord, have spoken!
