He|strong="H3068" said|strong="H0559",
2 “Son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" man|strong="H0120", sing|strong="H5375" this sad song about|strong="H5921" Pharaoh|strong="H6547", king|strong="H4428" of|strong="H1121" Egypt|strong="H4714". Say|strong="H0559" to|strong="H0413" him|strong="H0413":
3 This|strong="H3541" is|strong="H0136" what|strong="H3541" the|strong="H0853" Lord|strong="H0136" GOD|strong="H0136" says|strong="H0559":
4 Then|strong="H3605" I|strong="H0776" will|strong="H0776" drop you|strong="H3605" on|strong="H5921" the|strong="H3605" dry ground|strong="H0776".
5 I|strong="H5414" will|strong="H1320" scatter your|strong="H5414" body|strong="H1320" on|strong="H5921" the|strong="H0853" mountains|strong="H2022".
6 I|strong="H0776" will|strong="H0776" pour your|strong="H4480" blood|strong="H1818" on|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0413" mountains|strong="H2022",
7 I|strong="H3808" will|strong="H8064" make|strong="H0215" you|strong="H0853" disappear.
8 I|strong="H5414" will|strong="H0776" darken|strong="H6937" the|strong="H3605" lights|strong="H3974" in|strong="H5921" the|strong="H3605" sky|strong="H8064" over|strong="H5921" you|strong="H5414".
9 “I|strong="H0834" will|strong="H0776" make|strong="H3045" many|strong="H7227" people|strong="H5971" sad and|strong="H0935" upset|strong="H3707" when|strong="H0834" I|strong="H0834" bring|strong="H0935" an|strong="H0935" enemy to|strong="H0935" destroy you|strong="H0834". Nations|strong="H1471" you|strong="H0834" don’t|strong="H3808" even|strong="H3808" know|strong="H3045" will|strong="H0776" be|strong="H3808" upset|strong="H3707".
10 I|strong="H3117" will|strong="H4428" make|strong="H8074" many|strong="H7227" people|strong="H5971" shocked|strong="H8074" about|strong="H5921" you|strong="H6440". Their|strong="H5921" kings|strong="H4428" will|strong="H4428" be|strong="H0376" terrified|strong="H2729" of|strong="H4428" you|strong="H6440", when|strong="H3117" I|strong="H3117" swing my|strong="H5921" sword|strong="H2719" before|strong="H6440" them|strong="H5921". They|strong="H3117" will|strong="H4428" shake with|strong="H5921" fear|strong="H2729" on|strong="H5921" the|strong="H6440" day|strong="H3117" you|strong="H6440" fall|strong="H4658". Each|strong="H0376" king|strong="H4428" will|strong="H4428" be|strong="H0376" afraid|strong="H2729" for|strong="H5921" his|strong="H5921" own|strong="H0376" life|strong="H5315".”
11 That|strong="H3588" will|strong="H4428" happen because|strong="H3588" of|strong="H4428" what|strong="H3541" the|strong="H0559" Lord|strong="H0136" GOD|strong="H0136" said|strong="H0559": “The|strong="H0559" sword|strong="H2719" of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H0559" king|strong="H4428" of|strong="H4428" Babylon|strong="H0894" will|strong="H4428" come|strong="H0935" to|strong="H0559" fight against|strong="H0935" you|strong="H3588".
12 I|strong="H4714" will|strong="H1471" use those|strong="H3605" soldiers|strong="H1368" to|strong="H4714" kill|strong="H2719" your|strong="H3605" people|strong="H1471" in|strong="H5307" battle. They|strong="H3605" come|strong="H5307" from|strong="H1471" the|strong="H3605" most|strong="H6184" terrible of|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" nations|strong="H1471". They|strong="H3605" will|strong="H1471" destroy|strong="H8045" the|strong="H3605" things|strong="H3605" Egypt|strong="H4714" is|strong="H3605" proud|strong="H1347" of|strong="H3605". The|strong="H3605" people|strong="H1471" of|strong="H3605" Egypt|strong="H4714" will|strong="H1471" be|strong="H1471" destroyed|strong="H8045".
13 There|strong="H3605" are|strong="H0120" many|strong="H7227" animals|strong="H0929" by|strong="H5921" the|strong="H3605" rivers in|strong="H5921" Egypt. I|strong="H3808" will|strong="H0120" also|strong="H0853" destroy|strong="H0006" all|strong="H3605" those|strong="H3605" animals|strong="H0929". People|strong="H0120" will|strong="H0120" not|strong="H3808" make|strong="H0006" the|strong="H3605" waters|strong="H4325" muddy|strong="H1804" with|strong="H5921" their|strong="H3605" feet|strong="H7272" anymore|strong="H5750". The|strong="H3605" hoofs|strong="H6541" of|strong="H5921" cattle|strong="H0929" will|strong="H0120" not|strong="H3808" make|strong="H0006" the|strong="H3605" water|strong="H4325" muddy|strong="H1804" anymore|strong="H5750".
14 So|strong="H0227" I|strong="H0227" will|strong="H4325" make the|strong="H5002" water|strong="H4325" in|strong="H0227" Egypt calm|strong="H8257". I|strong="H0227" will|strong="H4325" cause their|strong="H0227" rivers|strong="H5104" to|strong="H4325" run slowly—they|strong="H0227" will|strong="H4325" be|strong="H0136" slick like oil|strong="H8081".” This is|strong="H4325" what the|strong="H5002" Lord|strong="H0136" GOD|strong="H0136" said.
15 “I|strong="H0589" will|strong="H3068" make|strong="H5414" the|strong="H3605" land|strong="H0776" of|strong="H0776" Egypt|strong="H4714" empty. That|strong="H3588" land|strong="H0776" will|strong="H3068" lose everything|strong="H3605". I|strong="H0589" will|strong="H3068" punish all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" people|strong="H3427" living|strong="H3427" in|strong="H3427" Egypt|strong="H4714". Then|strong="H0853" they|strong="H3588" will|strong="H3068" know|strong="H3045" that|strong="H3588" I|strong="H0589" am|strong="H0589" the|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068"!
16 “This|strong="H1931" is|strong="H1931" a|strong="H5921" sad song that|strong="H3605" people|strong="H1471" will|strong="H1471" sing for|strong="H5921" Egypt|strong="H4714". The|strong="H3605" daughters|strong="H1323" in|strong="H5921" other|strong="H3605" nations|strong="H1471" will|strong="H1471" sing this|strong="H1931" sad song. They|strong="H5921" will|strong="H1471" sing it|strong="H1931" as|strong="H1323" a|strong="H5921" sad song about|strong="H5921" Egypt|strong="H4714" and|strong="H4714" all|strong="H3605" its|strong="H3605" people|strong="H1471".” This|strong="H1931" is|strong="H1931" what|strong="H5921" the|strong="H3605" Lord|strong="H0136" GOD|strong="H0136" said.
