7  therefore, behold, I will bring foreigners upon you,

^lthe most ruthless of the nations;

and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom

and defile your splendor.

11  He and his people with him, ^ythe most ruthless of nations,

shall be brought in to destroy the land,

and they shall draw their swords against Egypt

and fill the land with the slain.

“They shall bring to ruin the pride of Egypt,

and all its multitude¹ shall perish.
