⁷ Therefore, behold, I will bring ^(A)strangers upon you,
The ^(B)most ruthless of the nations.
And they will draw their swords
Against the beauty of your wisdom
And defile your splendor.

¹² “Moreover, I will make the ^(A)Nile canals dry
And ^(B)sell the land into the hands of evil men.
And I will make the land desolate
And ^[a]all that is in it,
By the hand of strangers; I the Lord have spoken.”
