12 I will cause your hordes to fall
    by the swords of mighty men—
    the most ruthless of all nations.(A)
They will shatter the pride of Egypt,
    and all her hordes will be overthrown.(B)
13 I will destroy all her cattle
    from beside abundant waters
no longer to be stirred by the foot of man
    or muddied by the hooves of cattle.(C)

    and make her streams flow like oil,
declares the Sovereign Lord.
