THE MESSAGE
"‘ God , the Master, says: "‘The sword of the king of Babylon is coming against you. I'll use the swords of champions to lay your pride low, Use the most brutal of nations to knock Egypt off her high horse, to puncture that hot-air pomposity. I'll destroy all their livestock that graze along the river. Neither human foot nor animal hoof will muddy those waters anymore. I'll clear their springs and streams, make their rivers flow clean and smooth. Decree of God , the Master. When I turn Egypt back to the wild and strip her clean of all her abundant produce, When I strike dead all who live there, then they'll realize that I am God .'

Contextual Overview
1And it happened in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to me saying, 2"Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him,‘You liken yourself to a young lion of the nations,Yet you are like the monster in the seas;And you burst forth in your riversAnd muddied the waters with your feetAnd fouled their rivers.'" 3Thus says Lord Yahweh,"So I will spread My net over youWith an assembly of many peoples,And they shall bring you up in My net. 4I will abandon you on the land;I will hurl you on the open field.And I will cause all the birds of the sky to dwell on you,And I will satisfy the beasts of the whole earth with you. 5I will put your flesh on the mountainsAnd fill the valleys with your refuse. 6I will also make the land drink the discharge of your bloodAs far as the mountains,And the ravines will be full of you. 7And when I extinguish you,I will cover the heavens and darken their stars;I will cover the sun with a cloud,And the moon will not give its light. 8All the shining lights in the heavensI will darken over youAnd will give darkness on your land,"Declares Lord Yahweh. 9"I will also vex the hearts of many peoples when I bring your destruction among the nations, into lands which you have not known. 10I will make many peoples appalled at you, and their kings will be horribly afraid of you when I brandish My sword before them; and they will tremble every moment, every man for his own life, on the day of your downfall."

"those that slay with the sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon or against thee;''
his army, sword in hand.
