Context of Ezekiel 32:10
8I will darken the bright stars overhead and cover your land in darkness. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken! 9“I will disturb many hearts when I bring news of your downfall to distant nations you have never seen. Yes, I will shock many lands, and their kings will be terrified at your fate. They will shudder in fear for their lives as I brandish my sword before them on the day of your fall. 11For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: “The sword of the king of Babylon will come against you. 12I will destroy your hordes with the swords of mighty warriors— the terror of the nations. They will shatter the pride of Egypt, and all its hordes will be destroyed.
