10 and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, (A)my servant, (B)and I will set his throne above these stones that I have hidden, and he will spread his royal canopy over them. 11 He shall come (C)and strike the land of Egypt, (D)giving over to the pestilence those who are doomed to the pestilence, to captivity those who are doomed to captivity, and to the sword those who are doomed to the sword. 12 (E)I shall kindle a fire (F)in the temples of the gods of Egypt, and he shall burn them (G)and carry them away captive. (H)And he shall clean the land of Egypt (I)as a shepherd cleans his cloak of vermin, and he shall go away from there in peace.

10 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.

11 And when he cometh, he shall smite the land of Egypt, and deliver such as are for death to death; and such as are for captivity to captivity; and such as are for the sword to the sword.

12 And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captives: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment; and he shall go forth from thence in peace.
