29In the tenth year, in the tenth month on the twelfth day, the word of the LORD came to me:H6224H8141H6224H8147H6240H2320H1697H3068H5592"Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.H1121H120H7760H6440H6547H4428H4714H5012H47143Speak to him and say: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: "'I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, you great monster lying among your streams. You say, "The Nile is mine; I made it for myself."H1696H559H559H136H3069H6547H4428H4714H1419H8577H7257H8432H2975H559H2975H62134But I will put hooks in your jaws and make the fish of your streams stick to your scales. I will pull you out from among your streams, with all the fish sticking to your scales.H5414H2397H2397H3895H1710H2975H1692H7193H5927H8432H2975H1710H2975H1692H71935I will leave you in the desert, you and all the fish of your streams. You will fall on the open field and not be gathered or picked up. I will give you as food to the beasts of the earth and the birds of the air.H5203H4057H1710H2975H5307H6440H7704H622H6908H5414H402H2416H776H5775H80646Then all who live in Egypt will know that I am the LORD. "'You have been a staff of reed for the house of Israel.H3427H4714H3045H3068H4938H7070H1004H34787When they grasped you with their hands, you splintered and you tore open their shoulders; when they leaned on you, you broke and their backs were wrenched.H8610H3709H7533H1234H3802H8172H7665H4975H59768"'Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will bring a sword against you and kill your men and their animals.H559H136H3069H935H2719H3772H120H9299Egypt will become a desolate wasteland. Then they will know that I am the LORD. "'Because you said, "The Nile is mine; I made it,"H776H4714H8077H2723H3045H3068H559H2975H621310therefore I am against you and against your streams, and I will make the land of Egypt a ruin and a desolate waste from Migdol to Aswan, as far as the border of Cush.H2975H5414H776H4714H2721H2723H8077H4024H5482H1366H356811No foot of man or animal will pass through it; no one will live there for forty years.H7272H120H5674H7272H929H5674H3427H705H814112I will make the land of Egypt desolate among devastated lands, and her cities will lie desolate forty years among ruined cities. And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them through the countries.H5414H776H4714H8077H8432H776H8074H5892H8432H5892H2717H8077H705H8141H6327H4714H1471H2219H77613"'Yet this is what the Sovereign LORD says: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations where they were scattered.H559H136H3069H7093H705H8141H6908H4714H5971H632714I will bring them back from captivity and return them to Upper Egypt, the land of their ancestry. There they will be a lowly kingdom.H7725H7622H4714H7725H776H6624H776H4351H8217H446715It will be the lowliest of kingdoms and will never again exalt itself above the other nations. I will make it so weak that it will never again rule over the nations.H8217H4467H5375H1471H4591H7287H147116Egypt will no longer be a source of confidence for the people of Israel but will be a reminder of their sin in turning to her for help. Then they will know that I am the Sovereign LORD.'"H4009H1004H3478H2142H5771H2142H6437H310H3045H136H306917In the twenty-seventh year, in the first month on the first day, the word of the LORD came to me:H7651H6242H8141H7223H259H2320H1697H3068H55918"Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon drove his army in a hard campaign against Tyre; every head was rubbed bare and every shoulder made raw. Yet he and his army got no reward from the campaign he led against Tyre.H1121H120H5019H4428H894H5647H2428H5647H1419H5656H6865H7218H7139H3802H4803H7939H2428H6865H5656H564719Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am going to give Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will carry off its wealth. He will loot and plunder the land as pay for his army.H559H136H3069H5414H776H4714H5019H4428H894H5375H1995H7997H7998H962H957H7939H242820I have given him Egypt as a reward for his efforts because he and his army did it for me, declares the Sovereign LORD.H5414H776H4714H6468H5647H6213H5002H136H306921"On that day I will make a horn grow for the house of Israel, and I will open your mouth among them. Then they will know that I am the LORD."H3117H6779H7161H1004H3478H6779H5414H6610H6310H8432H3045H3068
