Ezekiel 30:6-19

6This is what the Lord says: Those who support Egypt will fall, and its proud strength will collapse. From Migdol to Syene they will fall within it by the sword. This is the declaration of the Lord God.

7They will be desolate among desolate lands, and their cities will lie among ruined cities.

8They will know that I am the Lord when I set fire to Egypt and all its allies are shattered.

9On that day, messengers will go out from me in ships to terrify confident Cush. Anguish will come over them on the day of Egypt’s doom. For indeed it is coming.

10“‘This is what the Lord God says: I will put an end to the hordes of Egypt by the hand of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.

11He along with his people, ruthless men from the nations, will be brought in to destroy the land. They will draw their swords against Egypt and fill the land with the slain.

12I will make the streams dry and sell the land to evil men. I will bring desolation on the land and everything in it by the hands of foreigners. I, the Lord, have spoken.

13“‘This is what the Lord God says: I will destroy the worthless idols and put an end to the false gods in Memphis. There will no longer be a prince from the land of Egypt. And I will instill fear in that land.

14I will make Pathros desolate, set fire to Zoan, and execute judgments on Thebes.

15I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt, and will wipe out the hordes of Thebes.

16I will set fire to Egypt; Pelusium will writhe in anguish, Thebes will be breached, and Memphis will face foes in broad daylight.

17The young men of On and Pi-beseth will fall by the sword, and those cities will go into captivity.

18The day will be dark in Tehaphnehes, when I break the yoke of Egypt there and its proud strength comes to an end in the city. A cloud will cover Tehaphnehes, and its surrounding villages will go into captivity.

19So I will execute judgments against Egypt, and they will know that I am the Lord.’”
