Judgment
of Egypt |
|
|
 |
|
Ezekiel 29:1
|
|
In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the
twelfth of the month, the word of the LORD came to me saying, |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:2
|
|
"Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king
of Egypt and prophesy against him and against all Egypt. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:3
|
|
"Speak and say, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold,
I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, The great monster that lies in the midst
of his rivers, That has said, 'My Nile is mine, and I myself have made it.' |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:4
|
|
"I will put hooks in your jaws And make the
fish of your rivers cling to your scales. And I will bring you up out of the midst
of your rivers, And all the fish of your rivers will cling to your scales. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:5
|
|
"I will abandon you to the wilderness, you and
all the fish of your rivers; You will fall on the open field; you will not be
brought together or gathered. I have given you for food to the beasts of the earth
and to the birds of the sky. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:6
|
|
"Then all the inhabitants of Egypt will know
that I am the LORD, Because they have been only a staff made of reed to the house
of Israel. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:7
|
|
"When they took hold of you with the hand, You
broke and tore all their hands; And when they leaned on you, You broke and made
all their loins quake." |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:8
|
|
'Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold,
I will bring upon you a sword and I will cut off from you man and beast. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:9
|
|
"The land of Egypt will become a desolation
and waste. Then they will know that I am the LORD. Because you said, 'The Nile
is mine, and I have made it,' |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:10
|
|
therefore, behold, I am against you and against
your rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation,
from Migdol to Syene and even to the border of Ethiopia. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:11
|
|
"A man's foot will not pass through it, and
the foot of a beast will not pass through it, and it will not be inhabited for
forty years. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:12
|
|
"So I will make the land of Egypt a desolation
in the midst of desolated lands. And her cities, in the midst of cities that are
laid waste, will be desolate forty years; and I will scatter the Egyptians among
the nations and disperse them among the lands." |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:13
|
|
'For thus says the Lord GOD, "At the end of
forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples among whom they were
scattered. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:14
|
|
"I will turn the fortunes of Egypt and make
them return to the land of Pathros, to the land of their origin, and there they
will be a lowly kingdom. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:15
|
|
"It will be the lowest of the kingdoms, and
it will never again lift itself up above the nations. And I will make them so
small that they will not rule over the nations. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:16
|
|
"And it will never again be the confidence of
the house of Israel, bringing to mind the iniquity of their having turned to Egypt.
Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD."'" |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:17
|
|
Now in the twenty-seventh year, in the first
month, on the first of the month, the word of the LORD came to me saying, |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:18
|
|
"Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon
made his army labor hard against Tyre; every head was made bald and every shoulder
was rubbed bare. But he and his army had no wages from Tyre for the labor that
he had performed against it." |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:19
|
|
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I
will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. And he will carry
off her wealth and capture her spoil and seize her plunder; and it will be wages
for his army. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:20
|
|
"I have given him the land of Egypt for his
labor which he performed, because they acted for Me," declares the Lord GOD. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 29:21
|
|
"On that day I will make a horn sprout for the
house of Israel, and I will open your mouth in their midst. Then they will know
that I am the LORD." |
