Ezekiel 30

The Lord Will Punish Egypt

30The LORD spoke to me again.H1697H3068H5592"Mortal man," he said, "prophesy and announce what I, the Sovereign LORD, am saying. You are to shout these words: A day of terror is coming!H1121H120H5012H559H559H136H3069H3213H1929H31173The day is near, the day when the LORD will act, A day of clouds and trouble for the nations.H3117H7138H3117H3068H7138H6051H3117H6256H14714There will be war in Egypt And great distress in Ethiopia. Many in Egypt will be killed; The country will be plundered And left in ruins.H2719H935H4714H2479H3568H2491H5307H4714H3947H1995H3247H20405"That war will also kill the soldiers hired from Ethiopia, Libya, Lydia, Arabia, Kub, and even from among my own people."H3568H6316H3865H6153H3552H1121H776H1285H5307H27196The LORD says, "From Migdol in the north to Aswan in the south, all Egypt's defenders will be killed in battle. Egypt's proud army will be destroyed. I, the Sovereign LORD, have spoken.H559H3068H5564H4714H5307H1347H5797H3381H4024H5482H5307H2719H5002H136H30697The land will be the most desolate in the world, and its cities will be left totally in ruins.H8074H8432H776H8074H5892H8432H5892H27178When I set fire to Egypt and all her defenders are killed, then they will know that I am the LORD.H3045H3068H5414H784H4714H5826H76659"When that day comes and Egypt is destroyed, I will send messengers in ships to arouse the unsuspecting people of Ethiopia, and they will be terrified. That day is coming!"H3117H4397H3318H6440H6716H983H3568H2729H2479H3117H4714H93510The Sovereign LORD says, "I will use King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia to put an end to Egypt's wealth.H559H136H3069H1995H4714H7673H3027H5019H4428H89411He and his ruthless army will come to devastate the land. They will attack Egypt with swords, and the land will be full of corpses.H5971H6184H1471H935H7843H776H7324H2719H4714H4390H776H249112I will dry up the Nile and put Egypt under the power of evil people. Foreigners will devastate the whole country. I, the LORD, have spoken."H5414H2975H2724H4376H776H3027H7451H776H8074H4393H3027H2114H3068H169613The Sovereign LORD says, "I will destroy the idols and the false gods in Memphis. There will be no one to rule Egypt, and I will terrify all the people.H559H136H3069H6H1544H457H7673H5297H5387H776H4714H5414H3374H776H471414I will make southern Egypt desolate and set fire to the city of Zoan in the north. I will punish the capital city of Thebes.H6624H8074H5414H784H6814H6213H8201H499615I will let the city of Pelusium, Egypt's great fortress, feel my fury. I will destroy the wealth of Thebes.H8210H2534H5512H4581H4714H3772H1995H499616I will set fire to Egypt, and Pelusium will be in agony. The walls of Thebes will be broken down, and the city will be flooded.H5414H784H4714H5512H2342H2342H4996H1234H5297H6862H311917The young men of the cities of Heliopolis and Bubastis will die in the war, and the other people will be taken prisoner.H970H206H6364H5307H2719H3212H762818Darkness will fall on Tahpanhes when I break the power of Egypt and put an end to the strength they were so proud of. A cloud will cover Egypt, and the people of all her cities will be taken prisoner.H8471H3117H2821H2820H7665H4133H4714H1347H5797H7673H1931H6051H3680H1323H3212H762819When I punish Egypt in this way, they will know that I am the LORD."H6213H8201H4714H3045H3068

The Broken Power of the King of Egypt

20On the seventh day of the first month of the eleventh year of our exile, the LORD spoke to me.H259H6240H8141H7223H7651H2320H1697H3068H55921"Mortal man," he said, "I have broken the arm of the king of Egypt. No one has bandaged it or put it in a sling so that it could heal and be strong enough to hold a sword again.H1121H120H7665H2220H6547H4428H4714H2280H7499H5414H7760H2848H2280H2388H8610H271922Now then, this is what I, the Sovereign LORD, say: I am the enemy of the king of Egypt. I am going to break both his arms - the good one and the one already broken - and the sword will fall from his hand.H559H136H3069H6547H4428H4714H7665H2220H2389H7665H2719H5307H302723I am going to scatter the Egyptians throughout the world.H6327H4714H1471H2219H77624Then I will make the arms of the king of Babylonia strong and put my sword in his hands. But I will break the arms of the king of Egypt, and he will groan and die in front of his enemy.H2388H2220H4428H894H5414H2719H3027H7665H6547H2220H5008H6440H5009H249125Yes, I will weaken him and strengthen the king of Babylonia. When I give him my sword and he points it toward Egypt, everyone will know that I am the LORD.H2388H2220H4428H894H2220H6547H5307H3045H3068H5414H2719H3027H4428H894H5186H776H471426I will scatter the Egyptians throughout the world. Then they will know that I am the LORD."H6327H4714H1471H2219H776H3045H3068
