30:10 “‘This is what the sovereign Lord says:
I will put an end to the hordes of Egypt,
by the hand of King Nebuchadrezzar 1 of Babylon.
30:11 He and his people with him,
the most terrifying of the nations, 2
will be brought there to destroy the land.
They will draw their swords against Egypt,
and fill the land with corpses.
1 tn Heb “Nebuchadrezzar” is a variant and more correct spelling of Nebuchadnezzar, as the Babylonian name Nabu-kudurri-usur has an “r” rather than an “n.”
2 tn The Babylonians were known for their cruelty (2 Kgs 25:7).
