Prophecy against Egypt

29In the tenth year, on the twelfth day of the tenth month, a message came to me from the Lord, who had this to say:H6224H8141H6224H8147H6240H2320H1697H3068H559
2"Son of Man, turn your attention to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and the entire nation of Egypt.H1121H120H7760H6440H6547H4428H4714H5012H4714
3Tell him that this is what the Lord God says: 'Watch out! I'm coming to get you, Pharaoah, king of Egypt! You big monster! You lay in wait in the middle of your waterways and say "My waterways belong to me! I made them for myself!"H1696H559H559H136H3069H6547H4428H4714H1419H8577H7257H8432H2975H559H2975H6213
4'So I'm going to plant a hook in your jaw and make the fish in your waterways grab hold of your scales. I'll bring you up out of the middle of your waterways, along with all of the fish from your waterways that cling to your scales,H5414H2397H2397H3895H1710H2975H1692H7193H5927H8432H2975H1710H2975H1692H7193
5Then I'll fling you out into the desert, you and all those fish in your waterways. You'll fall out in the open fields; you'll never be reunited. I'm giving you to the wild beasts of the earth and to the birds of the sky, and they will dine on you!H5203H4057H1710H2975H5307H6440H7704H622H6908H5414H402H2416H776H5775H8064
6'Then everyone living in Egypt will know that I am the Lord, because they have been an unreliable ally to the house of Israel.H3427H4714H3045H3068H4938H7070H1004H3478
7When they reached out to you for support, you tore their hands and dislocated all of their shoulders. When they tried to lean on you. all of their loins became unstable.'H8610H3709H7533H1234H3802H8172H7665H4975H5976
8'Therefore this is what the Lord God says: "Look out! I'm bringing violent death in your direction! I'm going to kill every person and animal,H559H136H3069H935H2719H3772H120H929
9and the land of Egypt will be turned into a desolate ruin. Then you will know that I am the Lord. "Because Egypt said, 'The Nile is mine. I made it!'H776H4714H8077H2723H3045H3068H559H2975H6213
10therefore watch out! I'm coming to get you! I'm going to attack your waterways, and then I'm going to make the land of Egypt a total wasteland from the Aswan fortress to the border of Ethiopia!H2975H5414H776H4714H2721H2723H8077H4024H5482H1366H3568
11Neither man nor beast will walk through that area. It won't even be inhabited for 40 years.H7272H120H5674H7272H929H5674H3427H705H8141
12I'll see to it that Egypt becomes a devastated land in the midst of devastated lands. Her cities deep inside her territories will be laid waste and desolate for 40 years. I will scatter Egypt among the nations and disperse them throughout the land.H5414H776H4714H8077H8432H776H8074H5892H8432H5892H2717H8077H705H8141H6327H4714H1471H2219H776

Restoration of Egypt after Judgment

13"Because this is what the Lord says: 'At the end of 40 years I'll gather the Egyptians from the people among whom they have been scattered.H559H136H3069H7093H705H8141H6908H4714H5971H6327
14I'll restore the economy of Egypt and return them to the land of Pathros, from which they originated, and there they will remain an insignificant kingdom,H7725H7622H4714H7725H776H6624H776H4351H8217H4467
15the least significant of kingdoms. It will never again dominate other nations. I will make them so small that they will never again rule any nation.H8217H4467H5375H1471H4591H7287H1471
16Egypt will never again be a source of confidence to the nation of Israel. Instead, Egypt will serve as a reminder of when they sinned by turning to Egypt for help. Then they'll know that I am the Lord God.'"H4009H1004H3478H2142H5771H2142H6437H310H3045H136H3069

Egypt Given to Nebuchadnezzar

17On the first day of the first month of the twenty-seventh year of our captivity, a message from the Lord came to me. It had this to say:H7651H6242H8141H7223H259H2320H1697H3068H559
18"Son of Man, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, made his army work very hard to attack Tyre. They tore their hair out and rubbed their shoulders raw! Despite all of that work trying to capture Tyre, neither he nor his army got paid from Tyre for all that!H1121H120H5019H4428H894H5647H2428H5647H1419H5656H6865H7218H7139H3802H4803H7939H2428H6865H5656H5647
19Therefore this is what the Lord God says: 'Im going to give the land of Egypt to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. He's going to carry off Egypt's wealth, capture her war implements, confiscate her plunder, and use it to pay wages for his army!H559H136H3069H5414H776H4714H5019H4428H894H5375H1995H7997H7998H962H957H7939H2428
20I've given him the land of Egypt as a reward for attacking Tyre for me," declares the Lord God.H5414H776H4714H6468H5647H6213H5002H136H3069
21"When that day comes about, I'll strengthen Israel's military might, and I will give you an audience in their midst. Then they will know that I am the Lord.'"H3117H6779H7161H1004H3478H6779H5414H6610H6310H8432H3045H3068
