| 30 | Ezekiel | ||
| 1 | The word of Yahweh came to me: | The LORD will punish Egypt. Eze.30.1-19 | |
| 2 | "Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says Yahweh GOD: | ||
| 3 | For the day is near, the day of Yahweh is near; it will be a day of clouds, a time of doom for the nations. | ||
| 4 | A sword shall come upon Egypt, and anguish shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain fall in Egypt, and her wealth is carried away, and her foundations are torn down. | ||
| 5 | Ethiopia, and Put, and Lud, and all Arabia, and Libya, and the people of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword. | ||
| 6 | "Thus says Yahweh: Those who support Egypt shall fall, and her proud might shall come down; from Migdol to Syene they shall fall within her by the sword, says Yahweh GOD. | ||
| 7 | And she shall be desolated in the midst of desolated countries and her cities shall be in the midst of cities that are laid waste. | ||
| 8 | Then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I have set fire to Egypt, and all her helpers are broken. | ||
| 9 | "On that day swift messengers shall go forth from me to terrify the unsuspecting Ethiopians; and anguish shall come upon them on the day of Egypt's doom; for, lo, it comes! | ||
| 10 | "Thus says Yahweh GOD: I will put an end to the wealth of Egypt, by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon. | ||
| 11 | He and his people with him, the most 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. | ||
| 12 | And I will dry up the Nile, and will sell the land into the hand of evil men; I will bring desolation upon the land and everything in it, by the hand of foreigners; I, Yahweh, have spoken. | ||
| 13 | "Thus says Yahweh GOD: I will destroy the idols, and put an end to the images, in Memphis; there shall no longer be a prince in the land of Egypt; so I will put fear in the land of Egypt. | ||
| 14 | I will make Pathros a desolation, and will set fire to Zoan, and will execute acts of judgment upon Thebes. | ||
| 15 | And I will pour my wrath upon Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt, and cut off the multitude of Thebes. | ||
| 16 | And I will set fire to Egypt; Pelusium shall be in great agony; Thebes shall be breached, and its walls broken down. | ||
| 17 | The young men of On and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword; and the women shall go into captivity. | ||
| 18 | At Tehaphnehes the day shall be dark, when I break there the dominion of Egypt, and her proud might shall come to an end; she shall be covered by a cloud, and her daughters shall go into captivity. | ||
| 19 | Thus I will execute acts of judgment upon Egypt. Then they will know that I am Yahweh." | ||
| 20 | In the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me: | Pharoah's broken power. Eze.30.20-26 | |
| 21 | "Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and lo, it has not been bound up, to heal it by binding it with a bandage, so that it may become strong to wield the sword. | ||
| 22 | Therefore thus says Yahweh GOD: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, both the strong arm and the one that was broken; and I will make the sword fall from his hand. | ||
| 23 | I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them throughout the lands. | ||
| 24 | And 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 will groan before him like a man mortally wounded. | ||
| 25 | I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh shall fall; and they shall know that I am Yahweh. When I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, he shall stretch it out against the land of Egypt; | ||
| 26 | and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them throughout the countries. Then they will know that I am Yahweh." | ||
