The source of the threat is made explicit. The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, said: 'Behold, I am bringing punishment upon Amon of Thebes, and Pharoah and Egypt, and her gods and her kings, upon Pharoah and those who trust him.' The Lord himself is Egypt
s great enemy, but the Lord’s instrument is Nebuchadnezzar. It is the Lord who will deliver Egypt into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar.
25 L'Eternel des armées, le Dieu d'Israël, dit: Voici, je vais châtier Amon de No, Pharaon, l'Egypte, ses dieux et ses rois, Pharaon et ceux qui se confient en lui.
