1The word1697 of the LORD3068 came again unto me, saying559,
2Son1121 of man120, prophesy5012 and say559, Thus saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069; Howl3213 ye, Woe worth1929 the day3117!
3For the day3117 is near7138, even the day3117 of the LORD3068 is near7138, a cloudy6051 day3117; it shall be the time6256 of the heathen1471.
4And the sword2719 shall come935 upon Egypt4714, and great pain2479 shall be in Ethiopia3568, when the slain2491 shall fall5307 in Egypt4714, and they shall take away3947 her multitude1995, and her foundations3247 shall be broken down2040.
5Ethiopia3568, and Libya6316, and Lydia3865, and all the mingled6153 people, and Chub3552, and the men1121 of the land776 that is in league1285, shall fall5307 with them by the sword2719.
6Thus saith559 the LORD3068; They also that uphold5564 Egypt4714 shall fall5307; and the pride1347 of her power5797 shall come down3381: from the tower4024 of Syene5482 shall they fall5307 in it by the sword2719, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD3069.
7And they shall be desolate8074 in the midst8432 of the countries776 that are desolate8074, and her cities5892 shall be in the midst8432 of the cities5892 that are wasted2717.
8And they shall know3045 that I am the LORD3068, when I have set5414 a fire784 in Egypt4714, and when all her helpers5826 shall be destroyed7665.
9In that day3117 shall messengers4397 go forth3318 from me6440 in ships6716 to make the careless983 Ethiopians3568 afraid2729, and great pain2479 shall come upon them, as in the day3117 of Egypt4714: for, lo, it cometh935.
10Thus saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069; I will also make the multitude1995 of Egypt4714 to cease7673 by the hand3027 of Nebuchadrezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894.
11He and his people5971 with him, the terrible6184 of the nations1471, shall be brought935 to destroy7843 the land776: and they shall draw7324 their swords2719 against Egypt4714, and fill4390 the land776 with the slain2491.
12And I will make5414 the rivers2975 dry2724, and sell4376 the land776 into the hand3027 of the wicked7451: and I will make the land776 waste8074, and all that is therein4393, by the hand3027 of strangers2114: I the LORD3068 have spoken1696 it.
13Thus saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069; I will also destroy6 the idols1544, and I will cause their images457 to cease7673 out of Noph5297; and there shall be no more a prince5387 of the land776 of Egypt4714: and I will put5414 a fear3374 in the land776 of Egypt4714.
14And I will make Pathros6624 desolate8074, and will set5414 fire784 in Zoan6814, and will execute6213 judgments8201 in No4996.
15And I will pour8210 my fury2534 upon Sin5512, the strength4581 of Egypt4714; and I will cut off3772 the multitude1995 of No4996.
16And I will set5414 fire784 in Egypt4714: Sin5512 shall have great2342 pain2342, and No4996 shall be rent asunder1234, and Noph5297 shall have distresses6862 daily3119.
17The young men970 of Aven206 and of Pibeseth6364 shall fall5307 by the sword2719: and these cities shall go3212 into captivity7628.
18At Tehaphnehes8471 also the day3117 shall be darkened2821 2820, when I shall break7665 there the yokes4133 of Egypt4714: and the pomp1347 of her strength5797 shall cease7673 in her1931: as for her, a cloud6051 shall cover3680 her, and her daughters1323 shall go3212 into captivity7628.
19Thus will I execute6213 judgments8201 in Egypt4714: and they shall know3045 that I am the LORD3068.
20And it came to pass in the eleventh259 6240 year8141, in the first7223 month, in the seventh7651 day of the month2320, that the word1697 of the LORD3068 came unto me, saying559,
21Son1121 of man120, I have broken7665 the arm2220 of Pharaoh6547 king4428 of Egypt4714; and, lo, it shall not be bound up2280 to be healed7499 5414, to put7760 a roller2848 to bind2280 it, to make it strong2388 to hold8610 the sword2719.
22Therefore thus saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069; Behold, I am against Pharaoh6547 king4428 of Egypt4714, and will break7665 his arms2220, the strong2389, and that which was broken7665; and I will cause the sword2719 to fall5307 out of his hand3027.
23And I will scatter6327 the Egyptians4714 among the nations1471, and will disperse2219 them through the countries776.
24And I will strengthen2388 the arms2220 of the king4428 of Babylon894, and put5414 my sword2719 in his hand3027: but I will break7665 Pharaoh's6547 arms2220, and he shall groan5008 before6440 him with the groanings5009 of a deadly wounded2491 man.
25But I will strengthen2388 the arms2220 of the king4428 of Babylon894, and the arms2220 of Pharaoh6547 shall fall down5307; and they shall know3045 that I am the LORD3068, when I shall put5414 my sword2719 into the hand3027 of the king4428 of Babylon894, and he shall stretch it out5186 upon the land776 of Egypt4714.
26And I will scatter6327 the Egyptians4714 among the nations1471, and disperse2219 them among the countries776; and they shall know3045 that I am the LORD3068.
