The Lord who rules over all planned to do it. He wanted to bring down all its pride and glory. He wanted to shame those who were honored all over the earth.
Egypt will be the least important kingdom of all. It will never place itself above the other nations again. I will make it very weak. Then it will never again rule over the nations.
Our enemies will see it too. And they will be put to shame. After all, they said to us, ‘Where is the Lord your God?’ But we will see them destroyed. Soon they will be stomped on like mud in the streets.”
