¹⁴ Announce it in Egypt, and proclaim it in Migdol!^(A)
Proclaim it in Memphis and in Tahpanhes!
Say, ‘Take positions! Prepare yourself,
for the sword devours all around you.’^(B)

⁶ This is what the Lord says:
Those who support Egypt will fall,
and its proud strength will collapse.
From Migdol to Syene
they will fall within it by the sword.
This is the declaration of the Lord God.
