10 and say to them, ‘This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “Behold, I am going to send men and get (A)My servant (B)Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and I am going to set his throne over these stones that I have hidden; and he will spread his [a](C)canopy over them. 11 He will also come and (D)strike the land of Egypt; those who are meant for death will be given over to death, and those for captivity to captivity, and (E)those for the sword to the sword. 12 And [b]I shall set fire to the temples of the (F)gods of Egypt, and he will burn them and take them captive. So he will [c](G)wrap himself with the land of Egypt as a shepherd [d]wraps himself with his garment, and he will depart from there safely. 13 He will also smash to pieces the [e]obelisks of [f]Heliopolis, which is in the land of Egypt; and the temples of the gods of Egypt he will burn with fire.”’”
