Context of Ezekiel 32:10
8All the bright lights in the heavens I will darken over you And I will place darkness on your land,” Says the Lord God. 9“I will also put fear into the hearts of many peoples when I bring your destruction [and captivity] among the nations, into countries which you have not known. I will make many peoples appalled at you [at your judgment and your defeat], and their kings will be horribly afraid of you when I brandish My sword [of judgment] before them; they will tremble and shudder every moment, every man for his own life, on the day of your downfall.” 11For thus says the Lord God, “The sword of the king of Babylon will come on you. 12I will make your horde [of people] fall by the swords of the mighty—all of them are tyrants among the nations, And they will devastate the pride and presumption of Egypt, And all its hordes will be destroyed.
