Eternal One: I will put an end to the wealth and population of Egypt
        using the power of Nebuchadnezzar as My weapon.
    I will dispatch the king of Babylon and his armies—
        the most ruthless in the world—
        to ravage the land!
    They will unsheathe their swords against Egypt
        and fill the land with the slain.
¹²     I will dry up the waterways of the Nile
        and sell the land to those who have evil designs.
    I, the Eternal, promise to recruit foreigners
        to destroy the land and plunder away everything of value.

¹³     I, the Eternal Lord, have this to say:
    I will demolish the breathless idols
        and destroy the vulgar images in Memphis.^[a]
    There won’t be a prince left in all the land of Egypt anymore;
        I will infect the entire nation with a plague of fear!
