\v 1 The word of Yahweh came to me and said,
|
|
\v 2 "Son of man, prophesy and say, 'the Lord Yahweh says this:
|
|
\q Wail, "Woe is the coming day!"
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 The day is near! The day is near for Yahweh! It will be a day of clouds, a time of doom for nations!

\v 4 Then a sword will come against Egypt, and there will be anguish in Cush when the killed people fall in Egypt—
|
|
\q when they take her wealth, and when her foundations are ruined!
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 5 Cush, Libya, and Lydia, and all the foreigners, together with the people belonging to the covenant—they will all fall by the sword!
|
|
|
|
\s5

\p
|
|
\v 6 Yahweh says this:
|
|
\q So the ones who support Egypt will fall, and the pride of her strength will go down.
|
|
\q From Migdol to Syene their soldiers will fall by the sword!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration!
|
|
\m
|
|
\v 7 They will be appalled in the midst of the abandoned lands, and their cities will be among all the ruined cities!
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 8 Then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I set fire in Egypt, and when all of her helpers are destroyed!
|
|
\v 9 In that day messengers will go out from before me in ships to terrorize a secure Cush, and there will be anguish among them on the day of Egypt's doom. For behold! It is coming!

\v 10 The Lord Yahweh says this: I will make an end of the multitudes of Egypt by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon.
|
|
\v 11 He and his army with him, the terror of nations, will be brought to destroy the land; they will draw out their swords against Egypt and fill the land with dead people!
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 12 I will make the rivers into dry ground, and I will sell the land into the hand of wicked men. I will make the land and its fullness desolate by the hand of strangers! I, Yahweh, have declared it!
|

\v 13 The Lord Yahweh says this: I will destroy idols, and I will bring an end to the worthless idols of Memphis. There will no longer be a prince in the land of Egypt, and I will put terror on the land of Egypt!
|
|
\v 14 Then I will make Pathros desolate and set fire in Zoan, and I will execute acts of judgment on Thebes.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 15 For I will pour out my fury on Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt, and cut off the multitude of Thebes.
|
|
\v 16 Then I will set fire in Egypt. Pelusium will be in severe agony, and Thebes will be broken up. Memphis will have enemies every day!
|

|
\v 17 The young men in Heliopolis and Bubastis will fall by the sword, and their cities will go into captivity.
|
|
\v 18 In Tahpanhes, the day will hold back its light when I break the yoke of Egypt there, and the pride of her strength will be finished. There will be a cloud covering her, and her daughters will walk into captivity.
|
|
\v 19 I will execute acts of judgment in Egypt, so they will know that I am Yahweh.'"

\v 20 Then it came about in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to me and said,
|
|
\v 21 "Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. Behold! It is not bound up and able to receive medicine; no one can put a bandage on it, so it will not be strong enough to grasp a sword.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 22 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Behold, I am against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt! For I will break his arm, both the strong one and the broken one, and I will make the sword fall from his hand.
|
|
\v 23 Then I will scatter Egypt among the nations and disperse them among the lands.
|
|
\v 24 I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and place my sword in his hand so that I might destroy Pharaoh's arms. He will groan before the king of Babylon with the groans of a dying man.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 25 For I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, while Pharaoh's arms will fall. Then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon; for he will attack the land of Egypt with it.
|
|
\v 26 So I will scatter Egypt among the nations and disperse them through the lands. Then they will know that I am Yahweh!'"
