Continued Judgment on Egypt

6"This is what the Lord says: 'Those who are supporting Egypt will fall; her majestic strength will collapse from the Aswan fortress by the sword that invades her,' declares the Lord God.H559H3068H5564H4714H5307H1347H5797H3381H4024H5482H5307H2719H5002H136H30697"They'll remain desolate among desolate lands, their cities will be named among those that are ruined.H8074H8432H776H8074H5892H8432H5892H27178They will know that I am the Lord when I kindle my fire in Egypt and all who help her are crushed.'H3045H3068H5414H784H4714H5826H76659"When that happens, couriers will go out in ships to terrify Ethiopia in its complacency. Anguish will visit them as it will visit Egypt. Watch out! It's coming!H3117H4397H3318H6440H6716H983H3568H2729H2479H3117H4714H935

Foreigners will Invade Egypt

10"This is what the Lord says: 'I'm putting an end to that gang from Egypt, and I'm going to use Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, to do it!H559H136H3069H1995H4714H7673H3027H5019H4428H89411He and his ruthless army with him will be brought to destroy the land.

I, the Lord have spoken!'H5414H2975H2724H4376H776H3027H7451H776H8074H4393H3027H2114H3068H1696

Destruction of Egypt’s Gods

13"This is what the Lord God says: 'I will destroy the idols and put an end to the images that come from Memphis. There will no longer be a prince from the land of Egypt, and I will make the land of Egypt to become terrified.H559H136H3069H6H1544H457H7673H5297H5387H776H4714H5414H3374H776H471414I'm going to turn Pathros into a desolation set fire to Zoan, and judge Thebes.H6624H8074H5414H784H6814H6213H8201H499615I'll pour out my anger on Sin, Egypt's strong fortress, and I'll eliminate the gangs in Thebes.H8210H2534H5512H4581H4714H3772H1995H499616I'll set fire to Egypt, and Syene will write in agony.

That's when her arrogant power will come to an end. She'll be covered by a cloud, and her citizens will go into captivity.H8471H3117H2821H2820H7665H4133H4714H1347H5797H7673H1931H6051H3680H1323H3212H762819I will carry out my judgments on Egypt, and they will learn that I am the Lord.'"H6213H8201H4714H3045H3068

Babylon’s Victory

20On the seventh day of the first month of the eleventh year of our captivity, a message came to me from the Lord. It had this to say:H259H6240H8141H7223H7651H2320H1697H3068H55921"Son of Man, I've broken the arm of Pharaoh, king of Egypt. Look! It hasn't been set in a splint for healing or wrapped with a bandage so it could be strong enough to hold a sword!H1121H120H7665H2220H6547H4428H4714H2280H7499H5414H7760H2848H2280H2388H8610H271922Therefore this is what the Lord God says: 'I'm coming to attack Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and I'm gong to break both of his arms, the strong one and the wounded one. That will make him drop his sword.H559H136H3069H6547H4428H4714H7665H2220H2389H7665H2719H5307H302723I'm going to scatter Egypt throughout the surrounding nations and disperse them throughout the world.H6327H4714H1471H2219H77624'I'm going to strengthen the military might of the king of Babylon, put my own sword in his hand, and break Pharaoah's strength. Then Pharaoh will groan like a dying man right in front of the king of Babylon.H2388H2220H4428H894H5414H2719H3027H7665H6547H2220H5008H6440H5009H249125'When I strengthen the military might of Babylon, the military might of Pharaoah will fail, and then they will learn that I am the Lord when I place my own sword in the hand of the king of Babylon. He will attack the land of Egypt.H2388H2220H4428H894H2220H6547H5307H3045H3068H5414H2719H3027H4428H894H5186H776H471426When I scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them throughout the world, they will learn that I am the Lord.'"H6327H4714H1471H2219H776H3045H3068
