1 In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth of the month, the word of the LORD came to me saying, 2 “Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt and prophesy against him and against all Egypt. 3 Speak and say, ‘Thus says the LordaGOD, “Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, The greatbmonster that lies in the midst of hiscrivers, That has said, ‘My Nile is mine, and I myself have made it.’ 4 “I will put hooks in your jaws And make the fish of yourdrivers cling to your scales. And I will bring you up out of the midst of yourerivers, And all the fish of yourfrivers will cling to your scales. 5 “I will abandon you to the wilderness, you and all the fish of yourgrivers; You will fall on thehopen field; you will not be brought together origathered. I have given you for food to the beasts of the earth and to the birds of the sky. 6 “Then all the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am the LORD, Because they have been only a staff made of reed to the house of Israel. 7 “When they took hold of you with the hand, You broke and tore all theirjhands; And when they leaned on you, You broke and made all their loinskquake.” | |
8 ‘Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, “Behold, I will bring upon you a sword and I will cut off from you man and beast. 9 The land of Egypt will become a desolation and waste. Then they will know that I am the LORD. Becauselyou said, ‘The Nile is mine, and I have made it,’ 10 therefore, behold, I am against you and against yourmrivers, and I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from Migdol to Syene and even to the border ofnEthiopia. 11 A man’s foot will not pass through it, and the foot of a beast will not pass through it, and it will not be inhabited for forty years. 12 So I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of desolated lands. And her cities, in the midst of cities that are laid waste, will be desolate forty years; and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands.” | |
13 ‘For thus says the Lord GOD, “At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the peoplesoamong whom they were scattered. 14 I will turn the fortunes of Egypt and make them return to the land of Pathros, to the land of their origin, and there they will be a lowly kingdom. 15 It will be the lowest of the kingdoms, and it will never again lift itself up above the nations. And I will make them so small that they will not rule over the nations. 16 And it will never again be the confidence of the house of Israel,pbringing to mind the iniquity of their having turnedqto Egypt. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.”’” | |
17 Now in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first of the month, the word of the LORD came to me saying, 18 “Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made his army laborrhard against Tyre; every head was made bald and every shoulder was rubbed bare. But he and his army had no wages from Tyre for the labor that he hadsperformed against it.” 19 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, “Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. And he will carry off hertwealth and capture her spoil and seize her plunder; and it will be wages for his army. 20 I have given him the land of Egypt for his labor which heuperformed, because they acted for Me,” declares the Lord GOD. | |
21 “On that day I will make a horn sprout for the house of Israel, and I willvopen your mouth in their midst. Then they will know that I am the LORD.” |
1 The word of the LORD came again to me saying, 2 “Son of man, prophesy and say, ‘Thus says the LordaGOD, “Wail, ‘Alas for the day!’ 3 “For the day is near, Even the day of the LORD is near; It will be a day of clouds, A time of doom for the nations. 4 “A sword will come upon Egypt, And anguish will be inbEthiopia; When the slain fall in Egypt, They take away hercwealth, And her foundations are torn down. | |
5 dEthiopia, Put, Lud, alleArabia,fLibya and thegpeople of the landhthat is in league will fall with them by the sword.” 6 ‘Thus says the LORD, “Indeed, those who support Egypt will fall And the pride of her power will come down; From Migdol to Syene They will fall within her by the sword,” Declares the Lord GOD. 7 “They will be desolate In the midst of the desolated lands; And her cities will be In the midst of the devastated cities. 8 “And they will know that I am the LORD, When I set a fire in Egypt And all her helpers are broken. | |
9 On that day messengers will go forth from Me in ships to frighten secureiEthiopia; and anguish will be on them as on the day of Egypt; for behold, it comes!” | |
10 ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “I will also make thejhordes of Egypt cease By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. 11 “He and his people with him, The most ruthless of the nations, Will be brought in to destroy the land; And they will draw their swords against Egypt And fill the land with the slain. 12 “Moreover, I will make the Nile canals dry And sell the land into the hands of evil men. And I will make the land desolate Andkall that is in it, By the hand of strangers; I the LORD have spoken.” | |
13 ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “I will also destroy the idols And make thelimages cease frommMemphis. And there will no longer be a prince in the land of Egypt; And I will put fear in the land of Egypt. 14 “I will make Pathros desolate, Set a fire in Zoan And execute judgments onnThebes. 15 “I will pour out My wrath onoSin, The stronghold of Egypt; I will also cut off the hordes ofpThebes. 16 “I will set a fire in Egypt; qSin will writhe in anguish, rThebes will be breached AndsMemphis will havetdistresses daily. 17 “The young men ofuOn and of Pi-beseth Will fall by the sword, Andvthe women will go into captivity. 18 “In Tehaphnehes the day willwbe dark When I break there the yoke bars of Egypt. Then the pride of her power will cease in her; A cloud will cover her, And her daughters will go into captivity. 19 “Thus I will execute judgments on Egypt, And they will know that I am the LORD.”’” | 14 |
20 In the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh of the month, the word of the LORD came to me saying, 21 “Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, behold, it has not been bound upxfor healingyor wrapped with a bandage, that it may be strong to hold the sword. 22 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, ‘Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt and will break his arms, both the strong and the broken; and I will make the sword fall from his hand. 23 I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands. 24 For I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put My sword in his hand; and I will break the arms of Pharaoh, so that he will groan before him with the groanings of a wounded man. 25 Thus I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh will fall. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I put My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he stretches it out against the land of Egypt. 26 When I scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands, then they will know that I am the LORD.’” |
1 In the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first of the month, the word of the LORD came to me saying, 2 “Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his hordes, ‘Whom are you like in your greatness? 3 ‘Behold, Assyria was a cedar in Lebanon With beautiful branches and forest shade, Andavery high, And its top was among thebclouds. 4 ‘The waters made it grow, thecdeep made it high. With its rivers it continuallydextended all around its planting place, And sent out its channels to all the trees of the field. 5 ‘Therefore its height was loftier than all the trees of the field And its boughs became many and its branches long Because of many waterseas it spread them out. 6 ‘All the birds of the heavens nested in its boughs, And under its branches all the beasts of the field gave birth, And all great nations lived under its shade. 7 ‘So it was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches; For itsfroots extended to many waters. 8 ‘The cedars in God’s gardengcould not match it; Thehcypressesicould not compare with its boughs, And the plane treesjcould not match its branches. No tree in God’s gardenkcould compare with it in its beauty. 9 ‘I made it beautiful with the multitude of its branches, And all the trees of Eden, which were in the garden of God, were jealous of it. | 8 |
10 ‘Therefore thus says the LordlGOD, “Becausemit is high in stature and has set its top among thenclouds, and its heart is haughty in its loftiness, 11 therefore I will give it into the hand of aodespot of the nations; he will thoroughly deal with it. According to its wickedness I have driven it away. 12 Alien tyrants of the nations have cut it down and left it; on the mountains and in all the valleys its branches have fallen and its boughs have been broken in all the ravines of the land. And all the peoples of the earth have gone down from its shade and left it. 13 On its ruin all the birds of the heavens will dwell, and all the beasts of the field will be on its fallen branches 14 so that all the trees by the waters may not be exalted in their stature, nor set their top among thepclouds, nor theirqwell-watered mighty ones stand erect in their height. For they have all been given over to death, to the earth beneath, among the sons of men, with those who go down to the pit.” | 12 |
15 ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “On the day when it went down to Sheol I caused lamentations; I closed therdeep over it and held back its rivers. And its many waters were stopped up, and I made Lebanonsmourn for it, and all the trees of the field wilted away on account of it. 16 I made the nations quake at the sound of its fall when I made it go down to Sheol with those who go down to the pit; and all thetwell-watered trees of Eden, the choicest and best of Lebanon, were comforted in the earth beneath. 17 They also went down with it to Sheol to those who were slain by the sword; and those who were itsustrength lived under its shade among the nations. | |
18 “To which among the trees of Eden are you thusvequal in glory and greatness? Yet you will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the earth beneath; you will lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who were slain by the sword. So is Pharaoh and all his hordes!”’ declares the Lord GOD.” |
1 In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first of the month, the word of the LORD came to me saying, 2 “Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him, ‘Youacompared yourself to a young lion of the nations, Yet you are like the monster in the seas; And you burst forth in your rivers And muddied the waters with your feet Andbfouled their rivers.’” | |
3 Thus says the LordcGOD, “Now I will spread My net over you With a company of many peoples, And they shall lift you up in My net. 4 “I will leave you on the land; I will cast you on thedopen field. And I will cause all the birds of the heavens to dwell on you, And I will satisfy the beasts of the whole earthewith you. 5 “I will lay your flesh on the mountains And fill the valleys with your refuse. 6 “I will also make the land drink the discharge of your blood As far as the mountains, And the ravines will be full of you. 7 “And when I extinguish you, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars; I will cover the sun with a cloud And the moon will not give its light. 8 “All the shining lights in the heavens I will darken over you And will set darkness on your land,” Declares the Lord GOD. | |
9 “I will also trouble the hearts of many peoples when I bring your destruction among the nations, into lands which you have not known. 10 I will make many peoples appalled at you, and their kings will be horribly afraid of you when I brandish My sword before them; and they will tremble every moment, every man for his own life, on the day of your fall.” | |
11 For thus says the Lord GOD, “The sword of the king of Babylon will come upon you. 12 By the swords of the mighty ones I will cause your hordes to fall; all of them are tyrants of the nations, And they will devastate the pride of Egypt, And all its hordes will be destroyed. 13 “I will also destroy all its cattle from beside many waters; And the foot of man will not muddy them anymore And the hoofs of beasts will not muddy them. 14 “Then I will make their waters settle And will cause their rivers to run like oil,” Declares the Lord GOD. 15 “When I make the land of Egypt a desolation, And the land is destitute of that which filled it, When I smite all those who live in it, Then they shall know that I am the LORD. | |
17 In the twelfth year, on the fifteenth of the month, the word of the LORD came to me saying, 18 “Son of man, wail for the hordes of Egypt and bring it down, her and the daughters of the powerful nations, to the nether world, with those who go down to the pit; 19 ‘Whom do you surpass in beauty? Go down and make your bed with the uncircumcised.’ | |
20 They shall fall in the midst of those who are slain by the sword.iShe is given over to the sword; they have drawn her and all her hordes away. 21 The strong among the mighty ones shall speak of him and his helpers from the midst of Sheol, ‘They have gone down, they lie still, the uncircumcised, slain by the sword.’ | |
22 “Assyria is there and all her company;jher graves are round aboutkher. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword, 23 whose graves are set in the remotest parts of the pit and her company is round about her grave. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword, wholspread terror in the land of the living. | |
24 “Elam is there and all her hordes around her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who went down uncircumcised to the lower parts of the earth, who instilled their terror in the land of the living and bore their disgrace with those who went down to the pit. 25 They have made a bed for her among the slain with all her hordes. Her graves are around it, they are all uncircumcised, slain by the sword (although their terror wasminstilled in the land of the living), and they bore their disgrace with those who go down to the pit;nthey were put in the midst of the slain. | |
26 “Meshech, Tubal and all their hordes are there; their gravesosurround them. All of them were slain by the sword uncircumcised, though they instilled their terror in the land of the living. 27 Nor do they lie beside the fallenpheroes of the uncircumcised, who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war and whose swords were laid under their heads; but the punishment for their iniquity rested on their bones, though the terror of theseqheroes was once in the land of the living. 28 But in the midst of the uncircumcised you will be broken and lie with those slain by the sword. | |
30 “There also are thetchiefs of the north, all of them, and all the Sidonians, who in spite of the terror resulting from their might, in shame went down with the slain. So they lay down uncircumcised with those slain by the sword and bore their disgrace with those who go down to the pit. | |
31 “These Pharaoh will see, and he will be comforted for all his hordes slain by the sword, even Pharaoh and all his army,” declares the Lord GOD. 32 “Though I instilled a terror of him in the land of the living, yet he will be made to lie down among the uncircumcised along with those slain by the sword, even Pharaoh and all his hordes,” declares the Lord GOD. |
