Ezekiel 30

30The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying, ²Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord God; ^aHowl ye, Woe worth the day! ³For ^bthe day is near, even ^abdthe day of the Lord is near, ^ca cloudy day; ^dit shall be the time of the heathen. ⁴And ^ethe sword shall come upon Egypt, and ^fgreat ^||pain shall be in ^gEthiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and ^hthey shall take away her multitude, and ⁱher foundations shall be broken down. ^5gkEthiopia, and ^†klLibya, and ^klLydia, and all ^mthe mingled people, and Chub, and the ^†men of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword. ⁶Thus saith the Lord; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and ⁿthe pride of her power shall come down: ^||ofrom the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord God. ⁷And they shall be ^pdesolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, ^pand her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted. ^8qAnd they shall know that I am the Lord, ^rwhen I have set a fire in Egypt, and when all ^sher helpers shall be ^†destroyed. ⁹In that day ^tshall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless ^gEthiopians afraid, and ^fgreat pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, ^eit cometh. ¹⁰Thus saith the Lord God; ^uI will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon. ¹¹He and his people with him, ^vthe terrible of the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land: and ^vthey shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain. ¹²And ^wI will make ^xthe rivers ^†ydry, and ^usell the land into the hand of ^zthe wicked: and ^xaI will make the land waste, and ^†all that is therein, by the hand of ^bstrangers: ^cI the Lord have spoken it. ¹³Thus saith the Lord God; ^dI will also destroy the idols, and I will cause their ^eimages to cease out of ^fNoph; and ^gthere shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt: and ^hI will put a fear in the land of Egypt. ¹⁴And I will make ⁱPathros desolate, and ^kwill set fire in ^||lZoan, and ^mwill execute judgments in ⁿNo. ¹⁵And I will pour my fury upon ^||Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off ^othe multitude of ⁿNo. ¹⁶And ^kI will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain, and ⁿNo shall be rent asunder, and ^fNoph ^pshall have distresses daily. ¹⁷The young men of ^||qAven and of ^||Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword: and these cities shall go into captivity. ¹⁸At ^rTehaphnehes also the day shall be ^||darkened, ^swhen I shall break there the yokes of Egypt: and ^tthe pomp of her strength shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity. ¹⁹Thus ^mwill I execute judgments in Egypt: ^uand they shall know that I am the Lord.

^20*And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, ²¹Son of man, ^vI have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up ^wto be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword. ²²Therefore thus saith the Lord God; ^xBehold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and ^ywill break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand. ^23zAnd I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries. ²⁴And ^aI will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaoh’s arms, and he shall ^bgroan before him with the groanings of a ^bdeadly wounded man. ²⁵But ^aI will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; ^uand they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and ^ahe shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt. ^26zAnd I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries; ^uand they shall know that I am the Lord.
