THE MESSAGE
"‘ God , the Master, says: "‘The sword of the king of Babylon is coming against you. I'll use the swords of champions to lay your pride low, Use the most brutal of nations to knock Egypt off her high horse, to puncture that hot-air pomposity. I'll destroy all their livestock that graze along the river. Neither human foot nor animal hoof will muddy those waters anymore. I'll clear their springs and streams, make their rivers flow clean and smooth. Decree of God , the Master. When I turn Egypt back to the wild and strip her clean of all her abundant produce, When I strike dead all who live there, then they'll realize that I am God .'

Contextual Overview

¹ On the first day of the twelfth month in the twelfth year of exile, the word of the Lord came to me. He said, ² "Son of man, sing this sad song about Pharaoh, king of Egypt. Say to him: "‘You thought you were like a powerful young lion walking proud among the nations. But really, you are like a dragon in the lakes. You push your way through the streams. You make the water muddy with your feet and stir up the rivers of Egypt.'" ³ This is what the Lord God says: "I have gathered many people together. Now I will throw my net over you. Then those people will pull you in. ⁴ Then I will drop you on the dry ground. I will throw you down in the field. I will let all the birds come and eat you. I will let wild animals from every place come and eat you until they are full. ⁵ I will scatter your body on the mountains. I will fill the valleys with your dead body. ⁶ I will pour your blood on the mountains, and it will soak down into the ground. The rivers will be full of you. ⁷ I will make you disappear. I will cover the sky and make the stars dark. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not shine. ⁸ I will darken the lights in the sky over you. I will make your whole country dark." This is what the Lord God said. ⁹ "I will make many people sad and upset when I bring an enemy to destroy you. Nations you don't even know will be upset. ¹⁰ I will make many people shocked about you. Their kings will be terrified of you, when I swing my sword before them. They will shake with fear on the day you fall. Each king will be afraid for his own life."

"those that slay with the sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon or against thee;''

his army, sword in hand.
