Ezekiel 30:6-19
6For this is what the LORD says:
The allies of Egypt will fall,and her proud strength will collapse.From Migdol to Syene1they will fall by the sword within her,declares the Lord GOD.7They will be desolate among desolate lands,and their cities will lie among ruined cities.
9On that day messengers will go out from Me in ships to frighten Cush out of complacency. Anguish will come upon them on the day of Egypt’s doom.2 For it is indeed coming.
10This is what the Lord GOD says:
I will put an end to the hordes of Egyptby the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.11He and his people with him,the most ruthless of the nations,will be brought in to destroy the land.They will draw their swords against Egyptand fill the land with the slain.12I will make the streams dry upand sell the land to the wicked.By the hands of foreigners I will bring desolationupon the land and everything in it.I, the LORD, have spoken.
13This is what the Lord GOD says:
I will destroy the idolsand put an end to the images in Memphis.3There will no longer be a prince in Egypt,and I will instill fear in that land.
14I will lay waste Pathros,set fire to Zoan,and execute judgment on Thebes.415I will pour out My wrath on Pelusium,5the stronghold of Egypt,and cut off the crowds of Thebes.16I will set fire to Egypt,Pelusium will writhe in anguish,Thebes will be split open,and Memphis will face daily distress.
17The young men of On and Pi-beseth6will fall by the sword,and those cities will go into captivity.18The day will be darkened in Tahpanheswhen I break the yoke of Egyptand her proud strength comes to an end.A cloud will cover her,and her daughters will go into captivity.
19So I will execute judgment on Egypt,and they will know that I am the LORD.”
