Ezekiel 30 1The word of YHWH came again unto me, saying, 2Son of
man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Wail ye, Alas for
the day! 3For the day is near, even the day of YHWH is near;
it shall be a day of clouds, a time of the nations. 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. 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. 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. 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. 8And they shall
know at I am Jehovah, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and all her
helpers are destroyed. 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. 10Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will also make the
multitude of Egypt to cease, by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of
Babylon. 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. 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. 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. 14And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan,
and will execute judgments upon No. 15And I will pour my wrath
upon Sin, the stronghold of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of
No. 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. 17The young men of Aven and of
Pibeseth shall fall by the sword; and these [cities] shall go into
captivity. 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. 19Thus will I execute
judgments upon Egypt; and they shall know that I am Jehovah. 20And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first [month], in the
seventh [day] of the month, that the word of YHWH came unto me,
saying, 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. 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. 23And I will scatter the Egyptians among the
nations, and will disperse them through the countries. 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. 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. 26And I will scatter the Egyptians
among the nations, and disperse them through the countries; and they
shall know that I am Jehovah. Average revision: 0 (ASV Unaltered)
