10 “Thus says the Lord God:

(A)“I will put an end to the wealth of Egypt,
    by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
11 He and his people with him, (B)the most ruthless of nations,
    shall be brought in to destroy the land,
(C)and they shall draw their swords against Egypt
    and fill the land with the slain.
12 And (D)I will (E)dry up the Nile
    and will sell the land into the hand of (F)evildoers;
(G)I will bring desolation upon the land and everything in it,
    by the hand of (H)foreigners;
(I)I am the Lord; I have spoken.

Foreigners will Invade Egypt

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!’”
