Who is this that rises like the Nile,Like streams whose waters surge?
It is Egypt that rises like the Nile,Like streams whose waters surge,That said, “I will rise,I will cover the earth,I will wipe out townsAnd those who dwell in them.
But that day shall be for my Sovereign GOD of Hosts a day for exacting retribution from all foes. The sword shall devour; it shall be sated and drunk with their blood. For my Sovereign GOD of Hosts is preparing a sacrifice in the northland, by the river Euphrates.
Many were made to stumble,They fell over one another.They said:“Up! let us return to our people,To the land of our birth,Because of the deadlybdeadly Meaning of Heb. uncertain. sword.”

הבישהבתמצריםנתנהבידעםצפון
Fair Egypt shall be shamed,Handed over to the people of the north.
GOD
of Hosts, the God of Israel, has said: I will inflict punishment on AmoniAmon Tutelary deity of the city No (Thebes); cf. Nah. 3.8. of No and on Pharaoh—on Egypt, her gods, and her kings—on Pharaoh and all who rely on him.
I will deliver them into the hands of those who seek to kill them, into the hands of King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon and into the hands of his subjects. But afterward she shall be inhabited again as in former days, declares GOD.
But you,Have no fear, My servant Jacob,Be not dismayed, O Israel!I will deliver you from far away,Your folk from their land of captivity;And Jacob again shall have calmAnd quiet, with none to trouble him.
But you, have no fear,My servant Jacob—declares GOD—For I am with you.I will make an end of all the nationsAmong which I have banished you,But I will not make an end of you!I will not leave you unpunished,But I will chastise you in measure.
