Egypt on Fire

30GOD, the Master, spoke to me:H1697H3068H559 2"Son of man, preach. Give them the Message of GOD, the Master. Wail:H1121H120H5012H559H559H136H3069H3213H1929H3117 3"'Doomsday!' Time's up! GOD's big day of judgment is near. Thick clouds are rolling in. It's doomsday for the nations.H3117H7138H3117H3068H7138H6051H3117H6256H1471 4Death will rain down on Egypt. Terror will paralyze Ethiopia When they see the Egyptians killed, their wealth hauled off, their foundations demolished,H2719H935H4714H2479H3568H2491H5307H4714H3947H1995H3247H2040 5And Ethiopia, Put, Lud, Arabia, Libya —all of Egypt's old allies— killed right along with them.H3568H6316H3865H6153H3552H1121H776H1285H5307H2719 6"'GOD says: "'Egypt's allies will fall and her proud strength will collapse— From Migdol in the north to Syene in the south, a great slaughter in Egypt! Decree of GOD, the Master.H559H3068H5564H4714H5307H1347H5797H3381H4024H5482H5307H2719H5002H136H3069 7Egypt, most desolate of the desolate, her cities wasted beyond wasting,H8074H8432H776H8074H5892H8432H5892H2717 8Will realize that I am GOD when I burn her down and her helpers are knocked flat.H3045H3068H5414H784H4714H5826H7665 9"'When that happens, I'll send out messengers by ship to sound the alarm among the easygoing Ethiopians. They'll be terrorized. Egypt's doomed! Judgment's coming!H3117H4397H3318H6440H6716H983H3568H2729H2479H3117H4714H935 10"'GOD, the Master, says: "'I'll put a stop to Egypt's arrogance. I'll use Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to do it.H559H136H3069H1995H4714H7673H3027H5019H4428H894 11He and his army, the most brutal of nations, shall be used to destroy the country. They'll brandish their swords and fill Egypt with corpses.H5971H6184H1471H935H7843H776H7324H2719H4714H4390H776H2491 12I'll dry up the Nile and sell off the land to a bunch of crooks. I'll hire outsiders to come in and waste the country, strip it clean. I, GOD, have said so.H5414H2975H2724H4376H776H3027H7451H776H8074H4393H3027H2114H3068H1696 13"'And now this is what GOD, the Master, says: "'I'll smash all the no-god idols; I'll topple all those huge statues in Memphis. The prince of Egypt will be gone for good, and in his place I'll put fear—fear throughout Egypt!H559H136H3069H6H1544H457H7673H5297H5387H776H4714H5414H3374H776H4714 14I'll demolish Pathros, burn Zoan to the ground, and punish Thebes,H6624H8074H5414H784H6814H6213H8201H4996 15Pour my wrath on Pelusium, Egypt's fort, and knock Thebes off its proud pedestal.H8210H2534H5512H4581H4714H3772H1995H4996 16I'll set Egypt on fire: Pelusium will writhe in pain, Thebes blown away, Memphis raped.H5414H784H4714H5512H2342H2342H4996H1234H5297H6862H3119 17The young warriors of On and Pi-beseth will be killed and the cities exiled.H970H206H6364H5307H2719H3212H7628 18A dark day for Tahpanhes when I shatter Egypt, When I break Egyptian power and put an end to her arrogant oppression! She'll disappear in a cloud of dust, her cities hauled off as exiles.H8471H3117H2821H2820H7665H4133H4714H1347H5797H7673H1931H6051H3680H1323H3212H7628 19That's how I'll punish Egypt, and that's how she'll realize that I am GOD.'"H6213H8201H4714H3045H3068 20In the eleventh year, on the seventh day of the first month, GOD's Message came to me:H259H6240H8141H7223H7651H2320H1697H3068H559 21"Son of man, I've broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And look! It hasn't been set. No splint has been put on it so the bones can knit and heal, so he can use a sword again.H1121H120H7665H2220H6547H4428H4714H2280H7499H5414H7760H2848H2280H2388H8610H2719 22"Therefore, GOD, the Master, says, I am dead set against Pharaoh king of Egypt and will go ahead and break his other arm—both arms broken! There's no way he'll ever swing a sword again.H559H136H3069H6547H4428H4714H7665H2220H2389H7665H2719H5307H3027 23I'll scatter Egyptians all over the world.H6327H4714H1471H2219H776 24I'll make the arms of the king of Babylon strong and put my sword in his hand, but I'll break the arms of Pharaoh and he'll groan like one who is mortally wounded.H2388H2220H4428H894H5414H2719H3027H7665H6547H2220H5008H6440H5009H2491 25I'll make the arms of the king of Babylon strong, but the arms of Pharaoh shall go limp. The Egyptians will realize that I am GOD when I place my sword in the hand of the king of Babylon. He'll wield it against EgyptH2388H2220H4428H894H2220H6547H5307H3045H3068H5414H2719H3027H4428H894H5186H776H4714 26and I'll scatter Egyptians all over the world. Then they'll realize that I am GOD."H6327H4714H1471H2219H776H3045H3068
