These are Yahweh's words about Egypt.

## I will make the rivers into dry ground ##

"I will  dry up the rivers of Egypt"

## I will sell the land into the hand of wicked men ##

Yahweh will give the Babylonians control over Egypt just as a person who sells something gives the one who buys it control over that thing. Alternate translation: "I will give control of the land to wicked men." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

## I will make the land and its fullness desolate by the hand of strangers ##

"I will cause people from another nation to destroy the land and everything in it"

## its fullness ##

"everything in the land"
