¹¹ He and his armed forces,
    the most ruthless of the nations,
    will be brought in to ravage the land.
They shall draw their swords against Egypt,
    and the land will be covered with corpses.
¹² I will dry up the channels of the Nile
    and sell the land to wicked men.
By the hand of foreigners
    the entire land and everything in it
    will be laid waste.
I, the Lord, have spoken.

I will destroy the idols
    and put an end to the false gods in Memphis.
There will no longer be a prince in Egypt,
    and I will instill terror in that land.
