"In this way, the peoples" or "In this manner, the nations"

# who support Egypt

|
|

"who help Egypt"
|
|

|
|
|
|
# the pride of her strength will go down
|
|
|

This represents Egypt no longer being proud of their strength. The reason that they will not be proud is that they will no longer be strong. AT: "Egypt will no longer be proud about being strong" or "Egypt will no longer have the strength that they were so proud of" (See:[[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

# their soldiers will fall by the sword
|
|
|
|
Here "fall" represents dying, and "the sword" represents battle. AT: "Egypt's soldiers will die in battle" or "an attacking army will kill Egypt's soldiers in battle" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

# this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration
|
|
|
|
Yahweh speaks of himself by name to express the certainty of what he is declaring. See how you translated this in [Ezekiel 5:11](../05/11.md). AT: "this is what the Lord Yahweh has declared" or "this is what I, the Lord Yahweh, have declared" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person]])

# They will be appalled in the midst of the abandoned lands
|
|
|
|
"The soldiers of the allies of Egypt will be appalled when they are left surrounded by nothing but abandoned lands"
|
|
|
|
# in the midst of
|
|
|
|
"among" or "surrounded by"
|
|
|
|
# their cities will be among all the ruined cities
|
|
|
|
Being "among" the ruined cities represents being ruined like the ruined cities of other countries. AT: "their cities will be ruined like the cities of other countries" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
