¹⁴ Then the Lord said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.

⁹ Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the Lord, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations.

²⁴ The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
