11 He and his people with him,
(A)The most ruthless of the nations,
Will be brought in to make the land a ruin;
And they will draw their swords against Egypt
And fill the land with the slain.

And (C)sell the land into the hands of evil men.
And I will make the land desolate,
As well as its fullness,
By the hand of strangers; I, Yahweh, have spoken.”

And make the [a]images cease from [b](E)Memphis.
And there will no longer be a prince in the land of Egypt;
And I will put fear in the land of Egypt.
