29In the tenth year, in the tenth [month] on the twelfth [day] of the month, the word of the LORD came to me:H6224H8141H6224H8147H6240H2320H1697H3068H5592"Son of man, turn your face toward Pharaoh king of Egypt and prophesy against him and against all of Egypt.H1121H120H7760H6440H6547H4428H4714H5012H47143Speak [to him] and say: This is what the Lord God says: Look, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monsterlying in the middle of his Nile, who says: My Nile is my own; I made [it] for myself.H1696H559H559H136H3069H6547H4428H4714H1419H8577H7257H8432H2975H559H2975H62134I will put hooks in your jaws and make the fish of your streams cling to your scales. I will haul you up from the middle of your Nile, and all the fish of your streams will cling to your scales.H5414H2397H2397H3895H1710H2975H1692H7193H5927H8432H2975H1710H2975H1692H71935I will leave you in the desert, you and all the fish of your streams. You will fall on the open ground and will not be taken away or gathered [for burial]. I have given you to the beasts of the earth and the birds of the sky as food.H5203H4057H1710H2975H5307H6440H7704H622H6908H5414H402H2416H776H5775H80646Then all the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am the LORD, for they have been a staff [made] of reed to the house of Israel.H3427H4714H3045H3068H4938H7070H1004H34787When Israel grasped you by the hand, you splintered, tearing all their shoulders; when they leaned on you, you shattered and made all their hips unsteady.H8610H3709H7533H1234H3802H8172H7665H4975H59768"Therefore this is what the Lord God says: I am going to bring a sword against you and wipe out man and animal from you.H559H136H3069H935H2719H3772H120H9299The land of Egypt will be a desolate ruin. Then they will know that I am the LORD. Because you said: The Nile is my own; I made [it],H776H4714H8077H2723H3045H3068H559H2975H621310therefore, I am against you and your Nile. I will turn the land of Egypt into ruins, a desolate waste from Migdol to Syene, as far as the border of Cush.H2975H5414H776H4714H2721H2723H8077H4024H5482H1366H356811No human foot will pass through it, and no animal foot will pass through it. It will be uninhabited for 40 years.H7272H120H5674H7272H929H5674H3427H705H814112I will make the land of Egypt a desolation among desolate lands, and its cities will be a desolation among ruined cities for 40 years. I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them across the countries.H5414H776H4714H8077H8432H776H8074H5892H8432H5892H2717H8077H705H8141H6327H4714H1471H2219H77613"For this is what the Lord God says: At the end of 40 years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations where they were dispersed.H559H136H3069H7093H705H8141H6908H4714H5971H632714I will restore the fortunes of Egypt and bring them back to the land of Pathros, the land of their origin. There they will be a lowly kingdom.H7725H7622H4714H7725H776H6624H776H4351H8217H446715Egypt will be the lowliest of kingdoms and will never again exalt itself over the nations. I will make them so small they cannot rule over the nations.H8217H4467H5375H1471H4591H7287H147116It will never again be an object of trust for the house of Israel, drawing attention to their sin of turning to the Egyptians. Then they will know that I am the Lord God."H4009H1004H3478H2142H5771H2142H6437H310H3045H136H3069
Babylon Receives Egypt as Compensation
17In the twenty-seventh year in the first [month], on the first [day] of the month, the word of the LORD came to me:H7651H6242H8141H7223H259H2320H1697H3068H55918"Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made his army labor strenuously against Tyre. Every head was made bald and every shoulder chafed, but he and his army received no compensation from Tyre for the labor he expended against it.H1121H120H5019H4428H894H5647H2428H5647H1419H5656H6865H7218H7139H3802H4803H7939H2428H6865H5656H564719Therefore this is what the Lord God says: I am going to give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who will carry off its wealth, seizing its spoil and taking its plunder. This will be his army's compensation.H559H136H3069H5414H776H4714H5019H4428H894H5375H1995H7997H7998H962H957H7939H242820I have given him the land of Egypt as the pay he labored for, since they worked for Me." [This is] the declaration of the Lord God.H5414H776H4714H6468H5647H6213H5002H136H306921"In that day I will cause a horn to sprout for the house of Israel, and I will enable you to speak out among them. Then they will know that I am the LORD."H3117H6779H7161H1004H3478H6779H5414H6610H6310H8432H3045H3068
