A Sad Day for Egypt

30This is another message that came to me from the Lord:H1697H3068H559 2“Son of man, prophesy and give this message from the Sovereign Lord. “Weep and wail for that day,H1121H120H5012H559H559H136H3069H3213H1929H3117 3for 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.H3117H7138H3117H3068H7138H6051H3117H6256H1471 4A 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 Ethiopia will be ravished.H2719H935H4714H2479H3568H2491H5307H4714H3947H1995H3247H2040 5Ethiopia, Libya, Lydia, all Arabia, and all their other allies will be destroyed in that war.H3568H6316H3865H6153H3552H1121H776H1285H5307H2719 6“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 Aswan they will be slaughtered by the sword, says the Sovereign Lord.H559H3068H5564H4714H5307H1347H5797H3381H4024H5482H5307H2719H5002H136H3069 7Egypt will be desolate, surrounded by desolate nations, and its cities will be in ruins, surrounded by other ruined cities.H8074H8432H776H8074H5892H8432H5892H2717 8And the people of Egypt will know that I am the Lord when I have set Egypt on fire and destroyed all their allies.H3045H3068H5414H784H4714H5826H7665 9At 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!H3117H4397H3318H6440H6716H983H3568H2729H2479H3117H4714H935 10“For this is what the Sovereign Lord says. By the power of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, I will destroy the hordes of Egypt.H559H136H3069H1995H4714H7673H3027H5019H4428H894 11He 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.H5971H6184H1471H935H7843H776H7324H2719H4714H4390H776H2491 12I 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!H5414H2975H2724H4376H776H3027H7451H776H8074H4393H3027H2114H3068H1696 13“This is what the Sovereign Lord says. I will smash the idols of Egypt and the images at Memphis. There will be no rulers left in Egypt; terror will sweep the land.H559H136H3069H6H1544H457H7673H5297H5387H776H4714H5414H3374H776H4714 14I will destroy southern Egypt, set fire to Zoan, and bring judgment against Thebes.H6624H8074H5414H784H6814H6213H8201H4996 15I will pour out my fury on Pelusium, the strongest fortress of Egypt, and I will stamp out the hordes of Thebes.H8210H2534H5512H4581H4714H3772H1995H4996 16Yes, I will set fire to all Egypt! Pelusium will be racked with pain; Thebes will be torn apart; Memphis will live in constant terror.H5414H784H4714H5512H2342H2342H4996H1234H5297H6862H3119 17The young men of Heliopolis and Bubastis will die in battle, and the women will be taken away as slaves.H970H206H6364H5307H2719H3212H7628 18When 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.H8471H3117H2821H2820H7665H4133H4714H1347H5797H7673H1931H6051H3680H1323H3212H7628 19And so I will greatly punish Egypt, and they will know that I am the Lord.”H6213H8201H4714H3045H3068

The Broken Arms of Pharaoh

20On April 29, during the eleventh year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity, this message came to me from the Lord:H259H6240H8141H7223H7651H2320H1697H3068H559 21“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.H1121H120H7665H2220H6547H4428H4714H2280H7499H5414H7760H2848H2280H2388H8610H2719 22Therefore, 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.H559H136H3069H6547H4428H4714H7665H2220H2389H7665H2719H5307H3027 23I will scatter the Egyptians to many lands throughout the world.H6327H4714H1471H2219H776 24I 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.H2388H2220H4428H894H5414H2719H3027H7665H6547H2220H5008H6440H5009H2491 25I 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.H2388H2220H4428H894H2220H6547H5307H3045H3068H5414H2719H3027H4428H894H5186H776H4714 26I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, dispersing them throughout the earth. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”H6327H4714H1471H2219H776H3045H3068
