29In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,H6224H8141H6224H8147H6240H2320H1697H3068H559 2"Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt.H1121H120H7760H6440H6547H4428H4714H5012H4714 3"Speak, and say, 'Thus says the Lord GOD: "Behold, I am against you, O Pharaoh king of Egypt, O great monster who lies in the midst of his rivers, Who has said, 'My River is my own; I have made it for myself.'H1696H559H559H136H3069H6547H4428H4714H1419H8577H7257H8432H2975H559H2975H6213 4But I will put hooks in your jaws, And cause the fish of your rivers to stick to your scales; I will bring you up out of the midst of your rivers, And all the fish in your rivers will stick to your scales.H5414H2397H2397H3895H1710H2975H1692H7193H5927H8432H2975H1710H2975H1692H7193 5I will leave you in the wilderness, You and all the fish of your rivers; You shall fall on the open field; You shall not be picked up or gathered. I have given you as food To the beasts of the field And to the birds of the heavens.H5203H4057H1710H2975H5307H6440H7704H622H6908H5414H402H2416H776H5775H8064 6"Then all the inhabitants of Egypt Shall know that I am the LORD, Because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.H3427H4714H3045H3068H4938H7070H1004H3478 7When they took hold of you with the hand, You broke and tore all their shoulders; When they leaned on you, You broke and made all their backs quiver."H8610H3709H7533H1234H3802H8172H7665H4975H5976 8'Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "Surely I will bring a sword upon you and cut off from you man and beast.H559H136H3069H935H2719H3772H120H929 9"And the land of Egypt shall become desolate and waste; then they will know that I am the LORD, because he said, 'The River is mine, and I have made it.'H776H4714H8077H2723H3045H3068H559H2975H6213 10"Indeed, therefore, I am against you and against your rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from Migdol to Syene, as far as the border of Ethiopia.H2975H5414H776H4714H2721H2723H8077H4024H5482H1366H3568 11"Neither foot of man shall pass through it nor foot of beast pass through it, and it shall be uninhabited forty years.H7272H120H5674H7272H929H5674H3427H705H8141 12"I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and among the cities that are laid waste, her cities shall be desolate forty years; and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them throughout the countries."H5414H776H4714H8077H8432H776H8074H5892H8432H5892H2717H8077H705H8141H6327H4714H1471H2219H776 13'Yet, 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 14"I will bring back the captives of Egypt and cause them to return to the land of Pathros, to the land of their origin, and there they shall be a lowly kingdom.H7725H7622H4714H7725H776H6624H776H4351H8217H4467 15"It shall be the lowliest of kingdoms; it shall never again exalt itself above the nations, for I will diminish them so that they will not rule over the nations anymore.H8217H4467H5375H1471H4591H7287H1471 16"No longer shall it be the confidence of the house of Israel, but will remind them of their iniquity when they turned to follow them. Then they shall know that I am the Lord GOD."'"H4009H1004H3478H2142H5771H2142H6437H310H3045H136H3069 17And it came to pass in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying,H7651H6242H8141H7223H259H2320H1697H3068H559 18"Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon caused his army to labor strenuously against Tyre; every head was made bald, and every shoulder rubbed raw; yet neither he nor his army received wages from Tyre, for the labor which they expended on it.H1121H120H5019H4428H894H5647H2428H5647H1419H5656H6865H7218H7139H3802H4803H7939H2428H6865H5656H5647 19"Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: 'Surely I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; he shall take away her wealth, carry off her spoil, and remove her pillage; and that will be the wages for his army.H559H136H3069H5414H776H4714H5019H4428H894H5375H1995H7997H7998H962H957H7939H2428 20'I have given him the land of Egypt for his labor, because they worked for Me,' says the Lord GOD.H5414H776H4714H6468H5647H6213H5002H136H3069 21'In that day I will cause the horn of the house of Israel to spring forth, and I will open your mouth to speak in their midst. Then they shall know that I am the LORD.'"H3117H6779H7161H1004H3478H6779H5414H6610H6310H8432H3045H3068
