12 By the swords of the mighty warriors I will cause your hordes to fall—
all of them are the most terrifying among the nations.
They will devastate the pride of Egypt,
and all its hordes will be destroyed.
13 I will destroy all its cattle beside the plentiful waters;
and no human foot will disturb[a] the waters[b] again,
nor will the hooves of cattle disturb them.
14 Then I will make their waters calm,[c]
and will make their streams flow like olive oil, declares the Sovereign Lord.
