# Chapter 30
|
||
1 The word of the Lord came to me again, saying,
|
||
2 “Son of man, prophesy and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God:
|
||
“Wail, ‘Woe to the day!’
|
||
3 For the day is near,
|
||
Even the day of the Lord is near;
|
||
It will be a day of clouds, the time of the Gentiles.
|
||
4 The sword shall come upon Egypt,
|
||
And great anguish shall be in Ethiopia,
|
||
When the slain fall in Egypt,
|
||
And they take away her wealth,
|
||
And her foundations are broken down.
|
||
5 “Ethiopia, Libya, Lydia, all the mingled people, Chub, and the men of the lands who are allied, shall fall with them by the sword.”
|
||
6 ‘Thus says the Lord:
|
||
“Those who uphold Egypt shall fall,
|
||
And the pride of her power shall come down.
|
||
From Migdol to Syene
|
||
Those within her shall fall by the sword,”
|
||
Says the Lord God.
|
||
7 “They shall be desolate in the midst of the desolate countries,
|
||
And her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are laid waste.
|
||
8 Then they will know that I am the Lord,
|
||
When I have set a fire in Egypt
|
||
And all her helpers are destroyed.
|
||
9 On that day messengers shall go forth from Me in ships
|
||
To make the careless Ethiopians afraid,
|
||
And great anguish shall come upon them,
|
||
As on the day of Egypt;
|
||
For indeed it is coming!”
|
||
10 ‘Thus says the Lord God:
|
||
“I will also make a multitude of Egypt to cease
|
||
By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
|
||
11 He and his people with him, the most terrible of the nations,
|
||
Shall be brought to destroy the land;
|
||
They shall draw their swords against Egypt,
|
||
And fill the land with the slain.
|
||
12 I will make the rivers dry,
|
||
And sell the land into the hand of the wicked;
|
||
I will make the land waste, and all that is in it,
|
||
By the hand of aliens.
|
||
I, the Lord, have spoken.”
|
||
13 ‘Thus says the Lord God:
|
||
“I will also destroy the idols,
|
||
And cause the images to cease from Noph;
|
||
There shall no longer be princes from the land of Egypt;
|
||
I will put fear in the land of Egypt.
|
||
14 I will make Pathros desolate,
|
||
Set fire to Zoan,
|
||
And execute judgments in No.
|
||
15 I will pour My fury on Sin, the strength of Egypt;
|
||
I will cut off the multitude of No,
|
||
16 And set a fire in Egypt;
|
||
Sin shall have great pain,
|
||
No shall be split open,
|
||
And Noph shall be in distress daily.
|
||
17 The young men of Aven and Pi Beseth shall fall by the sword,
|
||
And these cities shall go into captivity.
|
||
18 At Tehaphnehes the day shall also be darkened,
|
||
When I break the yokes of Egypt there.
|
||
And her arrogant strength shall cease in her;
|
||
As for her, a cloud shall cover her,
|
||
And her daughters shall go into captivity.
|
||
19 Thus I will execute judgments on Egypt,
|
||
Then they shall know that I am the Lord.” ’ ”
|
||
20 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
|
||
21 “Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and see, it has not been bandaged for healing, nor a splint put on to bind it, to make it strong enough to hold a sword.
|
||
22 Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Surely I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, both the strong one and the one that was broken; and I will make the sword fall out of his hand.
|
||
23 I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them throughout the countries.
|
||
24 I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put My sword in his hand; but I will break Pharaoh’s arms, and he will groan before him with the groanings of a mortally wounded man.
|
||
25 Thus I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; 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 I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them throughout the countries. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.’ ” |
