Bible References

He shall smite

Pharaoh king of Egypt, his officers, his leaders, all his people,

The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet about the nations:

Therefore this is what the Lord God says: I am going to give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who will carry off its wealth, seizing its spoil and taking its plunder. This will be his army’s compensation.

Such as are for death

If they ask you, ‘Where will we go?’ you must tell them: This is what the Lord says:

Those destined for death, to death;
those destined for the sword, to the sword.
Those destined for famine, to famine;
those destined for captivity, to captivity.

I will punish those living in the land of Egypt just as I punished Jerusalem by sword, famine, and plague.

This is the wicked man’s lot from God,
the inheritance God ordained for him.

A third of your people will die by plague and be consumed by famine within you; a third will fall by the sword all around you; and I will scatter a third to every direction of the wind, and I will draw a sword to chase after them.

Then I said, “I will no longer shepherd you. Let what is dying die, and let what is going astray go astray; let the rest devour each other’s flesh.”
