10
Behold, my people is led like a flock to the slaughter; I will not allow them to live any longer in the land of Egypt,
11
but I will bring them out with a mighty hand and with an uplifted arm, and will smite Egypt with plagues, as before, and will destroy all its land."
12
Let Egypt mourn, and its foundations, for the plague of chastisement and punishment that the Lord will bring upon it.
13
Let the farmers that till the ground mourn, because their seed shall fail and their trees shall be ruined by blight and hail and by a terrible tempest.
14
Alas for the world and for those who live in it!
