The Book of Ezekiel
30: 1The word of Jehovah came again unto me, saying, 30:2Son of man, prophesy,
and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Wail ye, Alas for the day! 30:3For the day is
near, even the day of Jehovah is near; it shall be a day of clouds, a time of the
nations. 30:4And a sword shall come upon Egypt, and anguish shall be in Ethiopia,
when the slain shall fall in Egypt; and they shall take away her multitude, and her
foundations shall be broken down. 30:5Ethiopia, and Put, and Lud, and all the
mingled people, and Cub, and the children of the land that is in league, shall fall
with them by the sword. 30:6Thus saith Jehovah: They also that uphold Egypt shall
fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Seveneh shall
they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord Jehovah. 30:7And they shall be desolate in
the midst of the countries that are desolate; and her cities shall be in the midst of
the cities that are wasted. 30:8And they shall know at I am Jehovah, when I have set
a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers are destroyed. 30:9In that day shall messengers go
forth from before me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid; and there
shall be anguish upon them, as in the day of Egypt; for, lo, it cometh. 30:10Thus
saith the Lord Jehovah: I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease, by the
hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon. 30:11He and his people with him, the
terrible of the nations, shall be brought in to destroy the land; and they shall draw
their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain. 30:12And I will make the
rivers dry, and will sell the land into the hand of evil men; and I will make the
land desolate, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I, Jehovah, have
spoken it. 30:13Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will also destroy the idols, and I will
cause the images to cease from Memphis; and there shall be no more a prince
from the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt. 30:14And I will
make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments
upon No. 30:15And I will pour my wrath upon Sin, the stronghold of Egypt; and I
will cut off the multitude of No. 30:16And I will set a fire in Egypt: Sin shall be in
great anguish, and No shall be broken up; and Memphis shall have adversaries in
the day-time. 30:17The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword;
and these cities shall go into captivity. 30:18At Tehaphnehes also the day shall
withdraw itself, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt, and the pride of her
power shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters
shall go into captivity. 30:19Thus will I execute judgments upon Egypt; and they
shall know that I am Jehovah. 30:20And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the
first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of Jehovah came unto
me, saying, 30:21Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and,
lo, it hath not been bound up, to apply healing medicines, to put a bandage to bind
it, that it be strong to hold the sword. 30:22Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah:
Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong
arm, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his
hand. 30:23And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse
them through the countries. 30:24And I will strengthen the arms of the king of
Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and
he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man. 30:25And I
will hold up the arms of the king of Babylon; and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall
down; and they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall put my sword into the
hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.
30:26And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through
the countries; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
