The Book of Ezekiel (WEB)
30: 1The word of Yahweh came again to me, saying, 30:2Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says
the Lord Yahweh: Wail, Alas for the day! 30:3For the day is near, even the day of Yahweh is near; it
shall be a day of clouds, a time of the nations. 30:4A sword shall come on 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 mixed people, and
Cub, and the children of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword. 30:6Thus says
Yahweh: They also who 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, says the Lord Yahweh. 30:7They 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. 30:8They shall know at I am Yahweh, 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 on them, as in the day of Egypt; for,
behold, it comes. 30:10Thus says the Lord Yahweh: 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. 30:12I 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,
Yahweh, have spoken it. 30:13Thus says the Lord Yahweh: 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. 30:14I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire
in Zoan, and will execute judgments on No. 30:15I will pour my wrath on Sin, the stronghold of
Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No. 30:16I 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 on Egypt; and they shall know that I am
Yahweh. 30:20It happened in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month,
that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, 30:21Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh
king of Egypt; and, behold, it has 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 says the Lord Yahweh: 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. 30:23I will scatter the Egyptians among the
nations, and will disperse them through the countries. 30:24I 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. 30:25I 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 Yahweh, when I
shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out on the land of
Egypt. 30:26I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries;
and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
