Thus says the Lord God: I will put an end to the wealth of Egypt, by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, describing the agent of judgment as Nebuchadnezzar (connecting to the earlier discussion of his compensation) and specifying the end of Egypt's economic power. The loss of 'wealth' parallels the descriptions of plundering in other oracles.
