Ezekiel 32:20

They shall fall in the midst of them that are slain by the

The Egyptians shall fall in battle by the sword of the Chaldeans: she is delivered to the sword;
Egypt is given to the sword, to perish by it, for her sins, according to the just appointment of God: draw her and all her multitudes;
