20 “A beautiful ^aheifer is Egypt,
but a biting fly ^bfrom the north has come upon her.
21 Even her hired soldiers in her midst
are like ^cfattened calves;
yes, they have turned and fled together;
they did not stand,
for the day of their calamity has come upon them,
^dthe time of their punishment.
22 “She makes ^ea sound like a serpent gliding away;
for her enemies march in force
and come against her with axes
^flike those who fell trees.
23 ^gThey shall cut down her forest,

declares the Lord,
though it is impenetrable,
because ^hthey are more numerous than locusts;
they are without number.
24 The daughter of Egypt shall be put to shame;
she shall be delivered into the hand of ⁱa people from the north.”
25 The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, said: “Behold, I am bringing punishment upon ^jAmon of ^kThebes, and Pharaoh and Egypt ^land her gods and her kings, upon Pharaoh and those who trust in him. 26 ^mI will deliver them into the hand of those who seek their life, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and his officers. ⁿAfterward Egypt shall be inhabited ^oas in the days of old, declares the Lord.

^v“This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, declares the Lord God.”

18 ^w“Son of man, ^xwail over ^ythe multitude of Egypt, and ^zsend them down, her and the daughters of majestic nations, ^aato the world below, to those who have gone down to the pit:

19 ^ab‘Whom do you surpass in beauty?
Go down and ^acbe laid to rest with the uncircumcised.’
20 They shall fall amid those ^adwho are slain by the sword. Egypt ^{▼▼Hebrew She} is delivered to the sword; drag her away, and ^afall her multitudes. 21 The mighty chiefs ^agshall speak of them, ^ahwith their helpers, out of the midst of Sheol: ‘They have come down, they lie still, ^aithe uncircumcised, ^ajslain by the sword.’

22 ^ak“Assyria is there, and all her company, ^alits graves all around it, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, 23 whose graves are set in ^amthe uttermost parts of the pit; and her company is all around her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, ^anwho spread terror ^aoin the land of the living.

24 ^ap“Elam is ^aqthere, and all her multitude around her grave; all of them ^arslain, fallen by the sword, who went down uncircumcised into ^asthe world below, who spread their terror in the land of the living; and ^atthey bear their shame ^auwith those who go down to the pit. 25 ^avThey have made her a bed among the slain with all her multitude, ^awher graves all around it, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for terror of them was spread in the land of the living, and they bear their shame with those who go down to the pit; they are placed among the slain.

26 ^ax“Meshech-Tubal is ^aythere, and all her multitude, ^azher graves all around it, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for they spread their terror in the land of the living. 27 And ^bathey do not lie with the mighty, the fallen from among the uncircumcised, who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war, whose swords were laid under their heads, and whose iniquities are upon their bones; for the terror of the mighty men was in the land of the living. 28 But as for you, you shall be broken ^bband lie among the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword.

29 ^bc“Edom is ^bdthere, her kings and all her princes, who for all their might are laid with those who are killed by the sword; they lie with the uncircumcised, with those who go down to the pit.

30 “The princes ^beof the north are there, all of them, and all the ^bfSidonians, who have gone down in shame with the slain, ^bgfor all the terror that they caused by their might; they lie uncircumcised with those who are slain by the sword, and ^bhbear their shame with those who go down to the pit.

31 “When Pharaoh sees them, he ^biwill be comforted for ^bjall his multitude, Pharaoh and all his army, slain by the sword, declares the Lord God. 32 ^bkFor I spread terror ^blin the land of the living; and he shall be laid to rest among ^bmthe uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword, Pharaoh and all his multitude, declares the Lord God.”
