twelfth day of the month, the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:2
|
|
Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king
of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt; |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:3
|
|
speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah:
Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monster that lieth
in the midst of his rivers, that hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made
it for myself. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:4
|
|
And
I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick
unto thy scales; and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, with
all the fish of thy rivers which stick unto thy scales. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:5
|
|
And I will cast thee forth into the wilderness,
thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open field; thou
shalt not be brought together, nor gathered; I have given thee for food to the
beasts of the earth and to the birds of the heavens. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:6
|
|
And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know
that I am Jehovah, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:7
|
|
When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou
didst break, and didst rend all their shoulders; and when they leaned upon thee,
thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand. |
|
|
|

|
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold,
I will bring a sword upon thee, and will cut off from thee man and beast. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:9
|

And the land of Egypt shall be a desolation
and a waste; and they shall know that I am Jehovah. Because he hath said, The
river is mine, and I have made it; |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:10
|
|
therefore, behold, I am against thee, and against
thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from
the tower of Seveneh even unto the border of Ethiopia. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:11
|
|
No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot
of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:12
|
|
And I will make the land of Egypt a desolation
in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and her cities among the cities
that are laid waste shall be a desolation forty years; and I will scatter the
Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:13
|
|
For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: At the end
of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the peoples whither they were
scattered; |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:14
|
|
and I will bring back the captivity of Egypt,
and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their
birth; and they shall be there a base kingdom. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:15
|

It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither
shall it any more lift itself up above the nations: and I will diminish them,
that they shall no more rule over the nations. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:16
|
|
And it shall be no more the confidence of the
house of Israel, bringing iniquity to remembrance, when they turn to look after
them: and they shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:17
|
|
And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth
year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the word of Jehovah came
unto me, saying, |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:18
|
|
Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused
his army to serve a great service against Tyre: every head was made bald, and
every shoulder was worn; yet had he no wages, nor his army, from Tyre, for the
service that he had served against it. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:19
|
|
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold,
I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall
carry off her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be
the wages for his army. |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:20
|
|
I have given him the land of Egypt as his recompense
for which he served, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord Jehovah. |

|
In that day will I cause a horn to bud forth
unto the house of Israel, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the
midst of them; and they shall know that I am Jehovah. |
