11 For the Lord God saith these things, The sword of the king of Babylon shall come to thee;

12 in swords of strong men I shall cast down thy multitude, all these folks (that) be not able to be overcome (with the swords of strong men I shall throw down thy multitude, all these people who be not able to be overcome). And they shall waste the pride of Egypt, and the multitude thereof shall be destroyed.

13 And I shall lose all the beasts thereof, that were on full many waters; and the foot of a man shall no more trouble those waters, neither the claw of beasts shall trouble those. (And I shall destroy all the beasts there, that were by a great many waters; and no more shall anyone’s foot trouble those waters, nor shall the hoofs of beasts trouble them.)
