“Thus says Yahweh God!
‘The sword
Of the king
Of Babylon
Shall come
Against you.
I will cause
Your hordes
To fall
By the swords
Of the mighty ones,
All of them,
The most terrible
Among the nations.
They shall bring
To ruin
The pride of Egypt.
All its hordes
Shall perish.’”
Yahweh God, via Ezekiel, pointed out that the sword of the king of Babylon was going to come against Egypt and its people. Many would fall by the swords of these mighty Babylonian warriors, the most terrible and terrifying among the nations. They would bring ruin to the pride of Egypt. A multitude of its people shall perish.
