In that day the Egyptians will become like women, and they will tremble and be in dread because of the waving of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which He is going to wave over them.

“A sword against their horses and against their chariots
And against all the

foreigners who are in the midst of her,

And they will become women!
A sword against her treasures, and they will be plundered!

The mighty men of Babylon have ceased fighting,
They stay in the strongholds;

Their strength is exhausted,

They are becoming like women;
Their dwelling places are set on fire,
The bars of her gates are broken.

The gates

The gates of the rivers are opened
And the palace is dissolved.

For He has shattered gates of bronze
And cut bars of iron asunder.

Thus says the Lord to Cyrus His anointed,
Whom I have taken by the right hand,
To subdue nations before him
And to loose the loins of kings;
To open doors before him so that gates will not be shut:

Thy bars

For He has strengthened the bars of your gates;
He has blessed your sons within you.

The mighty men of Babylon have ceased fighting,
They stay in the strongholds;

Their strength is exhausted,

They are becoming like women;
Their dwelling places are set on fire,
The bars of her gates are broken.
