Proclamation against Egypt

29In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me:H6224H8141H6224H8147H6240H2320H1697H3068H559 2Mortal, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against all Egypt;H1121H120H7760H6440H6547H4428H4714H5012H4714 3speak, and say, Thus says the Lord GOD: I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon sprawling in the midst of its channels, saying, "My Nile is my own; I made it for myself."H1696H559H559H136H3069H6547H4428H4714H1419H8577H7257H8432H2975H559H2975H6213 4I will put hooks in your jaws, and make the fish of your channels stick to your scales. I will draw you up from your channels, with all the fish of your channels sticking to your scales.H5414H2397H2397H3895H1710H2975H1692H7193H5927H8432H2975H1710H2975H1692H7193 5I will fling you into the wilderness, you and all the fish of your channels; you shall fall in the open field, and not be gathered and buried. To the animals of the earth and to the birds of the air I have given you as food.H5203H4057H1710H2975H5307H6440H7704H622H6908H5414H402H2416H776H5775H8064 6Then all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD because you were a staff of reed to the house of Israel;H3427H4714H3045H3068H4938H7070H1004H3478 7when they grasped you with the hand, you broke, and tore all their shoulders; and when they leaned on you, you broke, and made all their legs unsteady.H8610H3709H7533H1234H3802H8172H7665H4975H5976 8Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD: I will bring a sword upon you, and will cut off from you human being and animal;H559H136H3069H935H2719H3772H120H929 9and the land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste. Then they shall know that I am the LORD. Because you said, "The Nile is mine, and I made it,"H776H4714H8077H2723H3045H3068H559H2975H6213 10therefore, I am against you, and against your channels, and I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from Migdol to Syene, as far as the border of Ethiopia.H2975H5414H776H4714H2721H2723H8077H4024H5482H1366H3568 11No human foot shall pass through it, and no animal foot shall pass through it; it shall be uninhabited forty years.H7272H120H5674H7272H929H5674H3427H705H8141 12I will make the land of Egypt a desolation among desolated countries; and her cities shall be a desolation forty years among cities that are laid waste. I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries.H5414H776H4714H8077H8432H776H8074H5892H8432H5892H2717H8077H705H8141H6327H4714H1471H2219H776 13Further, thus says the Lord GOD: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples among whom they were scattered;H559H136H3069H7093H705H8141H6908H4714H5971H6327 14and I will restore the fortunes of Egypt, and bring them back to the land of Pathros, the land of their origin; and there they shall be a lowly kingdom.H7725H7622H4714H7725H776H6624H776H4351H8217H4467 15It shall be the most lowly of the kingdoms, and never again exalt itself above the nations; and I will make them so small that they will never again rule over the nations.H8217H4467H5375H1471H4591H7287H1471 16The Egyptians shall never again be the reliance of the house of Israel; they will recall their iniquity, when they turned to them for aid. Then they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.H4009H1004H3478H2142H5771H2142H6437H310H3045H136H3069

Babylonia Will Plunder Egypt

17In the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me:H7651H6242H8141H7223H259H2320H1697H3068H559 18Mortal, King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon made his army labor hard against Tyre; every head was made bald and every shoulder was rubbed bare; yet neither he nor his army got anything from Tyre to pay for the labor that he had expended against it.H1121H120H5019H4428H894H5647H2428H5647H1419H5656H6865H7218H7139H3802H4803H7939H2428H6865H5656H5647 19Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: I will give the land of Egypt to King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon; and he shall carry off its wealth and despoil it and plunder it; and it shall be the wages for his army.H559H136H3069H5414H776H4714H5019H4428H894H5375H1995H7997H7998H962H957H7939H2428 20I have given him the land of Egypt as his payment for which he labored, because they worked for me, says the Lord GOD.H5414H776H4714H6468H5647H6213H5002H136H3069 21On that day I will cause a horn to sprout up for the house of Israel, and I will open your lips among them. Then they shall know that I am the LORD.H3117H6779H7161H1004H3478H6779H5414H6610H6310H8432H3045H3068
