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.’” |
