Together they will plunder the sons of the east;

And the sons of Ammon will be subject to them.

The tongue of the Sea of Egypt;
And He will wave His hand over the River
With His scorching wind;

For the remnant of His people who will be left,
Just as there was for Israel
In the day that they came up out of the land of Egypt.
