# Chapter 30
|
||
1 The word of the Lord came to me:
|
||
2 “Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord God:
|
||
“Wail, ‘Alas for the day!’
|
||
3 For the day is near,
|
||
the day of the Lord 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 Cush,
|
||
when the slain fall in Egypt,
|
||
and her wealth is carried away,
|
||
and her foundations are torn down.
|
||
5 Cush, 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 the Lord:
|
||
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,
|
||
declares the Lord God.
|
||
7 And they shall be desolated in the midst of desolated countries,
|
||
and their cities shall be in the midst of cities that are laid waste.
|
||
8 Then they will know that I am the Lord,
|
||
when I have set fire to Egypt,
|
||
and all her helpers are broken.
|
||
9 “On that day messengers shall go out from me in ships to terrify the unsuspecting people of Cush, and anguish shall come upon them on the day of Egypt's doom; for, behold, it comes!
|
||
10 “Thus says the Lord God:
|
||
“I will put an end to the wealth of Egypt,
|
||
by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
|
||
11 He and his people with him, the most ruthless of 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 evildoers;
|
||
I will bring desolation upon the land and everything in it,
|
||
by the hand of foreigners;
|
||
I am the Lord; I have spoken.
|
||
13 “Thus says the Lord God:
|
||
“I will destroy the idols
|
||
and put an end to the images in Memphis;
|
||
there shall no longer be a prince from 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 judgments on Thebes.
|
||
15 And I will pour out my wrath on 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 Memphis shall face enemies by day.
|
||
17 The young men of On and of Pi-beseth 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 yoke bars of Egypt,
|
||
and her proud might shall come to an end in her;
|
||
she shall be covered by a cloud,
|
||
and her daughters shall go into captivity.
|
||
19 Thus I will execute judgments on Egypt.
|
||
Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
|
||
20 In the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:
|
||
21 “Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and behold, 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 the Lord 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 through the countries.
|
||
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. Then they shall 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 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them throughout the countries. Then they will know that I am the Lord.” |
