|
4. I will leave you on the ground, I will fling you on the open field, I will allow all the birds of the sky to settle on you, and I will permit all the wild animals to gorge themselves on you.

6. I will also water H8248 with thy blood H4480 H1818 the land H776 wherein thou swimmest H6824 , even to H413 the mountains H2022 ; and the rivers H650 shall be full H4390 of H4480 thee.
|
|
7. When I extinguish you, I will cover the sky; I will darken its stars. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not shine.
|
7. And when I shall put thee out H3518 , I will cover H3680 the heaven H8064 , and make the stars thereof dark H6937 H853 H3556 ; I will cover H3680 the sun H8121 with a cloud H6051 , and the moon H3394 shall not H3808 give H215 her light H216 .
|
|
8. I will darken all the lights in the sky over you, and I will darken your land, declares the sovereign LORD.
|
8. All H3605 the bright H216 lights H3974 of heaven H8064 will I make dark H6937 over H5921 thee , and set H5414 darkness H2822 upon H5921 thy land H776 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
|
|
9. I will disturb many peoples, when I bring about your destruction among the nations, among countries you do not know.
|
9. I will also vex H3707 the hearts H3820 of many H7227 people H5971 , when I shall bring H935 thy destruction H7667 among the nations H1471 , into H5921 the countries H776 which H834 thou hast not H3808 known H3045 .
|
|
10. I will shock many peoples with you, and their kings will shiver with horror because of you. When I brandish my sword before them, every moment each one will tremble for his life, on the day of your fall.
|
10. Yea , I will make many people amazed H8074 H5971 H7227 at H5921 thee , and their kings H4428 shall be horribly afraid H8175 H8178 for H5921 thee , when I shall brandish H5774 my sword H2719 before H5921 H6440 them ; and they shall tremble H2729 at every moment H7281 , every man H376 for his own life H5315 , in the day H3117 of thy fall H4658 .

|
|
12. By the swords of the mighty warriors I will cause your hordes to fall� all of them are the most terrifying among the nations. They will devastate the pride of Egypt, and all its hordes will be destroyed.
|
12. By the swords H2719 of the mighty H1368 will I cause thy multitude H1995 to fall H5307 , the terrible H6184 of the nations H1471 , all H3605 of them : and they shall spoil H7703 H853 the pomp H1347 of Egypt H4714 , and all H3605 the multitude H1995 thereof shall be destroyed H8045 .

|
13. I will destroy all its cattle beside the plentiful waters; and no human foot will disturb the waters again, nor will the hooves of cattle disturb them.
|
13. I will destroy H6 also H853 all H3605 the beasts H929 thereof from beside H4480 H5921 the great H7227 waters H4325 ; neither H3808 shall the foot H7272 of man H120 trouble H1804 them any more H5750 , nor H3808 the hooves H6541 of beasts H929 trouble H1804 them.
|
|
14. Then I will make their waters calm, and will make their streams flow like olive oil, declares the sovereign LORD.
|
14. Then H227 will I make their waters deep H8257 H4325 , and cause their rivers H5104 to run H1980 like oil H8081 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
|
|
15. When I turn the land of Egypt into desolation and the land is destitute of everything that fills it, when I strike all those who live in it, then they will know that I am the LORD.'
|
15. When I shall make H5414 H853 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 desolate H8077 , and the country H776 shall be destitute H8074 of that whereof it was full H4480 H4393 , when I shall smite H5221 H853 all H3605 them that dwell H3427 therein , then shall they know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
|
|
16. This is a lament; they will chant it. The daughters of the nations will chant it. They will chant it over Egypt and over all her hordes, declares the sovereign LORD."
|
16. This H1931 is the lamentation H7015 wherewith they shall lament H6969 her : the daughters H1323 of the nations H1471 shall lament H6969 her : they shall lament H6969 for her, even for H5921 Egypt H4714 , and for H5921 all H3605 her multitude H1995 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
