I am going to bring foreigners against you,
    the most ruthless of nations;(A)
they will draw their swords against your beauty and wisdom(B)
    and pierce your shining splendor.(C)

    in the heart of the seas.(F)

    in the presence of those who kill you?

10 You will die the death of the uncircumcised(I)
    at the hands of foreigners.

I have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”
