Ezekiel 30

A Sad Day for Egypt

30This is another message that came to me from the Lord:H1697H3068H5592“Son of man, prophesy and give this message from the Sovereign Lord. “Weep and wail for that day,H1121H120H5012H559H559H136H3069H3213H1929H31173for the terrible day is almost here—the day of the Lord! It is a day of clouds and gloom, a day of despair for the nations.H3117H7138H3117H3068H7138H6051H3117H6256H14714A sword will come against Egypt, and those who are slaughtered will cover the ground. Its wealth will be carried away and its foundations destroyed. The land of Ethiopiac will be ravished.H2719H935H4714H2479H3568H2491H5307H4714H3947H1995H3247H20405Ethiopia, Libya, Lydia, all Arabiac, and all their other allies will be destroyed in that war.H3568H6316H3865H6153H3552H1121H776H1285H5307H27196“For this is what the Lord says. All of Egypt’s allies will fall, and the pride of her power will end. From Migdol to Aswanc they will be slaughtered by the sword, says the Sovereign Lord.H559H3068H5564H4714H5307H1347H5797H3381H4024H5482H5307H2719H5002H136H30697Egypt will be desolate, surrounded by desolate nations, and its cities will be in ruins, surrounded by other ruined cities.H8074H8432H776H8074H5892H8432H5892H27178And the people of Egypt will know that I am the Lord when I have set Egypt on fire and destroyed all their allies.H3045H3068H5414H784H4714H5826H76659At that time I will send swift messengers in ships to terrify the complacent Ethiopians. Great panic will come upon them on that day of Egypt’s certain destruction. Watch for it! It is sure to come!H3117H4397H3318H6440H6716H983H3568H2729H2479H3117H4714H93510“For this is what the Sovereign Lord says. By the power of King Nebuchadnezzarc of Babylon, I will destroy the hordes of Egypt.H559H136H3069H1995H4714H7673H3027H5019H4428H89411He and his armies—the most ruthless of all—will be sent to demolish the land. They will make war against Egypt until slaughtered Egyptians cover the ground.H5971H6184H1471H935H7843H776H7324H2719H4714H4390H776H249112I will dry up the Nile River and sell the land to wicked men. I will destroy the land of Egypt and everything in it by the hands of foreigners. I, the Lord, have spoken!H5414H2975H2724H4376H776H3027H7451H776H8074H4393H3027H2114H3068H169613“This is what the Sovereign Lord says. I will smash the idolsc of Egypt and the images at Memphis. There will be no rulers left in Egypt; terror will sweep the land.H559H136H3069H6H1544H457H7673H5297H5387H776H4714H5414H3374H776H471414I will destroy southern Egyptc, set fire to Zoan, and bring judgment against Thebes.H6624H8074H5414H784H6814H6213H8201H499615I will pour out my fury on Pelusiumc, the strongest fortress of Egypt, and I will stamp out the hordes of Thebes.H8210H2534H5512H4581H4714H3772H1995H499616Yes, I will set fire to all Egypt! Pelusium will be racked with pain; Thebes will be torn apart; Memphis will live in constant terror.H5414H784H4714H5512H2342H2342H4996H1234H5297H6862H311917The young men of Heliopolis and Bubastisc will die in battle, and the women will be taken away as slaves.H970H206H6364H5307H2719H3212H762818When I come to break the proud strength of Egypt, it will be a dark day for Tahpanhes, too. A dark cloud will cover Tahpanhes, and its daughters will be led away as captives.H8471H3117H2821H2820H7665H4133H4714H1347H5797H7673H1931H6051H3680H1323H3212H762819And so I will greatly punish Egypt, and they will know that I am the Lord.”H6213H8201H4714H3045H3068

The Broken Arms of Pharaoh

20On April 29c, during the eleventh year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity, this message came to me from the Lord:H259H6240H8141H7223H7651H2320H1697H3068H55921“Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. His arm has not been put in a cast so that it may heal. Neither has it been bound up with a splint to make it strong enough to hold a sword.H1121H120H7665H2220H6547H4428H4714H2280H7499H5414H7760H2848H2280H2388H8610H271922Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am the enemy of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt! I will break both of his arms—the good arm along with the broken one—and I will make his sword clatter to the ground.H559H136H3069H6547H4428H4714H7665H2220H2389H7665H2719H5307H302723I will scatter the Egyptians to many lands throughout the world.H6327H4714H1471H2219H77624I will strengthen the arms of Babylon’s king and put my sword in his hand. But I will break the arms of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and he will lie there mortally wounded, groaning in pain.H2388H2220H4428H894H5414H2719H3027H7665H6547H2220H5008H6440H5009H249125I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, while the arms of Pharaoh fall useless to his sides. And when I put my sword in the hand of Babylon’s king and he brings it against the land of Egypt, Egypt will know that I am the Lord.H2388H2220H4428H894H2220H6547H5307H3045H3068H5414H2719H3027H4428H894H5186H776H471426I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, dispersing them throughout the earth. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”H6327H4714H1471H2219H776H3045H3068

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
