^4 (A)A sword shall come upon Egypt,
    ^(B)and anguish shall be in ^(C)Cush,
when the slain fall in Egypt,
    and ^(D)her wealth^[a] is carried away,
    and ^(E)her foundations are torn down.

³ Therefore my loins are filled with anguish;
    ^(A)pangs have seized me,
    like the pangs of a woman in labour;
I am bowed down so that I cannot hear;
    I am dismayed so that I cannot see.
