¹⁵ When I make Egypt an unpeopled waste, cutting off from the land all the things in it; when I send punishment on all those living in it, then it will be clear to them that I am the Lord.

⁷ And the dead will be falling down among you, and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

⁵ And the Egyptians will see that I am the Lord, when my hand is stretched out over Egypt, and I take the children of Israel out from among them.

¹⁸ And the Egyptians will see that I am the Lord, when I get honour over Pharaoh and his war-carriages and his horsemen.

⁴ And I will make Pharaoh's heart hard, and he will come after them and I will be honoured over Pharaoh and all his army, so that the Egyptians may see that I am the Lord. And they did so.

²⁶ And I will send the Egyptians in flight among the nations and wandering through the countries; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

¹⁹ For this cause the Lord has said: See, I am giving the land of Egypt to Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon: he will take away her wealth, and take her goods by force and everything which is there; and this will be the payment for his army.

²⁰ I have given him the land of Egypt as the reward for his hard work, because they were working for me, says the Lord.

¹² I will make the land of Egypt a waste among the countries which are made waste, and her towns will be unpeopled among the towns which have been made waste, for forty years: and I will send the Egyptians in flight among the nations and wandering through the countries.

¹⁷ Let them be overcome and troubled for ever; let them be put to shame and come to destruction;

¹⁸ So that men may see that you only, whose name is Yahweh, are Most High over all the earth.

¹⁶ The Lord has given knowledge of himself through his judging: the evil-doer is taken in the net which his hands had made. (Higgaion. Selah.)

³³ He makes rivers into waste places, and springs of water into a dry land;

³⁴ He makes a fertile country into a salt waste, because of the sins of those who are living there.

¹ <A Psalm. Of David.> The earth is the Lord's, with all its wealth; the world and all the people living in it.
