their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.
030:012 I will make the rivers dry, and will sell the land into
the hand of evil men; and I will make the land desolate,
and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers:
I, Yahweh, have spoken it.
030:013 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will also destroy the idols,
and I will cause the images to cease from Memphis;
and there shall be no more a prince from the land of Egypt:
and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.
030:014 I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan,
and will execute judgments on No.
030:015 I will pour my wrath on Sin, the stronghold of Egypt;
and I will cut off the multitude of No.
030:016 I will set a fire in Egypt: Sin shall be in great anguish,
and No shall be broken up; and Memphis [shall have] adversaries
in the daytime.
030:017 The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword;
and these [cities] shall go into captivity.
030:018 At Tehaphnehes also the day shall withdraw itself, when I shall
break there the yokes of Egypt, and the pride of her power
shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her,
and her daughters shall go into captivity.

king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong [arm],
and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall

030:023 I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse
them through the countries.
030:024 I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put
my sword in his hand: but I will break the arms of Pharaoh,
and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a
deadly wounded man.
030:025 I will hold up the arms of the king of Babylon; and the arms
of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am Yahweh,
when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon,
