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.”

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

    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!
