Jeremiah 43:10-12
Good News Translation
10 Then tell them that I, the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, am going to bring my servant King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia to this place, and he[a] will put his throne over these stones that you[b] buried, and will spread the royal tent over them. 11 Nebuchadnezzar will come and defeat Egypt. Those people who are doomed to die of disease will die of disease, those doomed to be taken away as prisoners will be taken away as prisoners, and those doomed to be killed in war will be killed in war. 12 I will set fire to the temples of Egypt's gods, and the king of Babylonia will either burn their gods or carry them off. As shepherds pick their clothes clean of lice, so the king of Babylonia will pick the land of Egypt clean and then leave victorious.

10 Then say to them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I will send for my servant(A) Nebuchadnezzar(B) king of Babylon, and I will set his throne(C) over these stones I have buried here; he will spread his royal canopy(D) above them. 11 He will come and attack Egypt,(E) bringing death(F) to those destined(G) for death, captivity to those destined for captivity,(H) and the sword to those destined for the sword.(I) 12 He will set fire(J) to the temples(K) of the gods(L) of Egypt; he will burn their temples and take their gods captive.(M) As a shepherd picks(N) his garment clean of lice, so he will pick Egypt clean and depart.
