30The word of the LORD came to me:H1697H3068H5592"Son of man, prophesy and say: This is what the Lord God says: Wail: Alas for the day!H1121H120H5012H559H559H136H3069H3213H1929H31173For a day is near; a day belonging to the LORD is near. It will be a day of clouds, a time [of doom] for the nations.H3117H7138H3117H3068H7138H6051H3117H6256H14714A sword will come against Egypt, and there will be anguish in Cush when the slain fall in Egypt, and its wealth is taken away, and its foundations are torn down.H2719H935H4714H2479H3568H2491H5307H4714H3947H1995H3247H20405Cush, Put, and Lud, and all the various foreign troops, plus Libya and the men of the covenant land will fall by the sword along with them.H3568H6316H3865H6153H3552H1121H776H1285H5307H27196This is what the LORD says: Those who support Egypt will fall, and its proud strength will collapse. From Migdol to Syene they will fall within it by the sword. [This is] the declaration of the Lord God.H559H3068H5564H4714H5307H1347H5797H3381H4024H5482H5307H2719H5002H136H30697They will be desolate among desolate lands, and their cities will lie among ruined cities.H8074H8432H776H8074H5892H8432H5892H27178They will know that I am the LORD when I set fire to Egypt and all its allies are shattered.H3045H3068H5414H784H4714H5826H76659On that day, messengers will go out from Me in ships to terrify confident Cush. Anguish will come over them on the day of Egypt's [doom]. For indeed it is coming."H3117H4397H3318H6440H6716H983H3568H2729H2479H3117H4714H93510This is what the Lord God says: I will put an end to the hordes of Egypt by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.H559H136H3069H1995H4714H7673H3027H5019H4428H89411He along with his people, ruthless men from the nations, will be brought in to destroy the land. They will draw their swords against Egypt and fill the land with the slain.H5971H6184H1471H935H7843H776H7324H2719H4714H4390H776H249112I will make the streams dry and sell the land into the hands of evil men. I will bring desolation on the land and everything in it by the hands of foreigners. I, the LORD, have spoken.H5414H2975H2724H4376H776H3027H7451H776H8074H4393H3027H2114H3068H169613This is what the Lord God says: I will destroy the idols and put an end to the false gods in Memphis. There will no longer be a prince from the land of Egypt. So I will instill fear in that land.H559H136H3069H6H1544H457H7673H5297H5387H776H4714H5414H3374H776H471414I will make Pathros desolate, set fire to Zoan, and execute judgments on Thebes.H6624H8074H5414H784H6814H6213H8201H499615I will pour out My wrath on Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt, and will wipe out the crowds of Thebes.H8210H2534H5512H4581H4714H3772H1995H499616I will set fire to Egypt; Pelusium will writhe in anguish, Thebes will be breached, and Memphis will face foes in broad daylight.H5414H784H4714H5512H2342H2342H4996H1234H5297H6862H311917The young men of On and Pi-beseth will fall by the sword, and those cities will go into captivity.H970H206H6364H5307H2719H3212H762818The day will be dark in Tehaphnehes, when I break the yoke of Egypt there and its proud strength comes to an end in the city. A cloud will cover Tehaphnehes, and its villages will go into captivity.H8471H3117H2821H2820H7665H4133H4714H1347H5797H7673H1931H6051H3680H1323H3212H762819So I will execute judgments against Egypt, and they will know that I am the LORD.H6213H8201H4714H3045H3068
Pharaoh’s Power Broken
20In the eleventh year, in the first [month], on the seventh [day] of the month, the word of the LORD came to me:H259H6240H8141H7223H7651H2320H1697H3068H55921"Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Look, it has not been bandaged— [no] medicine has been applied and no splint put on to bandage it so that it can grow strong [enough] to handle a sword.H1121H120H7665H2220H6547H4428H4714H2280H7499H5414H7760H2848H2280H2388H8610H271922Therefore this is what the Lord God says: Look! I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt. I will break his arms, both the strong one and the one [already] broken, and will make the sword fall from his hand.H559H136H3069H6547H4428H4714H7665H2220H2389H7665H2719H5307H302723I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them among the countries.H6327H4714H1471H2219H77624I will strengthen the arms of Babylon's king and place My sword in his hand. But I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he will groan before him as a mortally wounded man.H2388H2220H4428H894H5414H2719H3027H7665H6547H2220H5008H6440H5009H249125I will strengthen the arms of Babylon's king, but Pharaoh's arms will fall. They will know that I am the LORD when I place My sword in the hand of Babylon's king and he wields it against the land of Egypt.H2388H2220H4428H894H2220H6547H5307H3045H3068H5414H2719H3027H4428H894H5186H776H471426When I disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them among the countries, they will know that I am the LORD."H6327H4714H1471H2219H776H3045H3068
