11 He and his people with him, (A)the most terrible of the nations,
Shall be brought to destroy the land;
They shall draw their swords against Egypt,
And fill the land with the slain.
12 (B)I will make the rivers dry,
And (C)sell the land into the hand of the wicked;
I will make the land waste, and all that is in it,
By the hand of aliens.
I, the Lord, have spoken.”

13 ‘Thus says the Lord God:

“I will also (D)destroy the idols,
And cause the images to cease from [a]Noph;
(E)There shall no longer be princes from the land of Egypt;
(F)I will put fear in the land of Egypt.
