19 “Egypt shall become a desolation

and Edom a desolate wilderness,

for the violence done to the people of Judah,

because they have shed innocent blood in their land.

19 Egypt shall be a desolation,

And Edom shall be a desolate wilderness,

For the violence against the children of Judah,

Because they have shed innocent blood in their land.

19 But Egypt will become a wasteland

and Edom will become a wilderness,

because they attacked the people of Judah

and killed innocent people in their land.

19 “Egypt shall be a desolation,

And Edom a desolate wilderness,

Because of violence against the people of Judah,

For they have shed innocent blood in their land.

19 But Egypt will become empty,

and Edom an empty desert,

because they were cruel to the people of Judah.

They killed innocent people in that land.

19 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence done to the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.

19 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, in that they have shed innocent blood in their land.

19 Egypt will become a wasteland. 

Edom will become a barren desert. 

This is because the nations were cruel to Judah. 

They murdered innocent people in their land. 

19 Egypt will become desolate,

and Edom a desert wasteland,

because of the violence done to the people of Judah

in whose land they shed innocent blood.

19 Egypt shall become a desolation

and Edom a desolate wilderness,

because of the violence done to the people of Judah,

in whose land they have shed innocent blood.

19 Egypt will become a desolation,

and Edom will become a desolate desert,

because of the violence they did against the children of Judah,

in whose land they have shed innocent blood.

19 But Egypt will be deserted.

Edom will become a dry and empty desert.

They did terrible harm to the people of Judah.

My people were not guilty of doing anything wrong.

But Egypt and Edom spilled their blood anyway.

19 Egypt will become a waste,

And Edom will become a desolate wilderness,

Because of the violence done to the sons of Judah,

In whose land they have shed innocent blood.
