And the sword shall come on Egypt, and anguish shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt. And they shall take her host, and her foundations shall be razed.

So says Jehovah: Even those leaning on Egypt shall fall, and the pride of her power shall go down. From Migdol to Syene they shall fall with her by the sword, declares the Lord Jehovah.

And they will be ruined amidst the lands being wasted. And her cities shall be in the midst of the desolated cities.

And they shall know that I am Jehovah when I set a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers shall be crushed.

He and his people with him, awesome of the nations, shall be brought to ruin the land. And they shall draw their swords against Egypt and fill the lands with the slain.

The young men of Aven and Pibeseth shall fall by the sword, and they shall go into captivity.

And I will do judgments in Egypt. And they shall know that I am Jehovah.
