Context of Ezekiel 32:11
9I will disturb many peoples, when I bring about your destruction among the nations, among countries you do not know. 10I will shock many peoples with you, and their kings will shiver with horror because of you. When I brandish my sword before them, every moment each one will tremble for his life, on the day of your fall. “‘For this is what the sovereign Lord says: “‘The sword of the king of Babylon will attack you. 12By the swords of the mighty warriors I will cause your hordes to fall – all of them are the most terrifying among the nations. They will devastate the pride of Egypt, and all its hordes will be destroyed. 13I will destroy all its cattle beside the plentiful waters; and no human foot will disturb the waters again, nor will the hooves of cattle disturb them.
