Ezekiel 30

New American Standard Bible 1995

Lament over Egypt

1The word of the Lord came again to me saying, 2“Son of man, prophesy and say, ‘Thus says the Lord 1God, “2Wail, ‘Alas for the day!’3For the day is near, Even 3the day of the Lord is near; It will be a day of 4clouds, A time of doom for the nations.4A sword will come upon Egypt, And anguish will be in 5Ethiopia; When the slain fall in Egypt, They 6take away her 7wealth, And her foundations are torn down. 58Ethiopia, Put, Lud, all 910Arabia, 11Libya and the 12people of the land 13that is in league will fall with them by the sword.”

6‘Thus says the Lord, “Indeed, those who support 14Egypt will fall And the pride of her power will come down; From Migdol to Syene They will fall within her by the sword,” Declares the Lord God.7“They will be desolate In the 15midst of the desolated lands; And her cities will be In the midst of the devastated cities.8And they will 16know that I am the Lord, When I set a 17fire in Egypt And all her helpers are broken. 9On that day 18messengers will go forth from Me in ships to frighten 19secure 20Ethiopia; and 21anguish will be on them as on the day of Egypt; for behold, it comes!”

10‘Thus says the Lord God, “22I will also make the 23hordes of Egypt cease By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.11He and his people with him, 24The most ruthless of the nations, Will be brought in to destroy the land; And they will draw their swords against Egypt And fill the land with the slain.12Moreover, I will make the 25Nile canals dry And 26sell the land into the hands of evil men. And I will make the land desolate And 27all that is in it, By the hand of strangers; I the Lord have spoken.”

13‘Thus says the Lord God, “I will also 28destroy the idols And make the 29images cease from 3031Memphis. And there will no longer be a prince in the land of Egypt; And I will put fear in the land of Egypt.14I will make 32Pathros desolate, Set a fire in 33Zoan And execute judgments on 3435Thebes.15I will pour out My wrath on 36Sin, The stronghold of Egypt; I will also cut off the hordes of 37Thebes.16I will set a fire in Egypt; 38Sin will writhe in anguish, 39Thebes will be breached And 40Memphis will have 41distresses daily.17The young men of 4243On and of Pi-beseth Will fall by the sword, And 44the women will go into captivity.18In 45Tehaphnehes the day will 46be 47dark When I 48break there the yoke bars of Egypt. Then the pride of her power will cease in her; A cloud will cover her, And her daughters will go into captivity.19Thus I will 49execute judgments on Egypt, And they will know that I am the Lord.”’”

Victory for Babylon

20In the 50eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh of the month, the word of the Lord came to me saying, 21“Son of man, I have 51broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, behold, it has not been 52bound up 53for healing 54or wrapped with a bandage, that it may be strong to hold the sword. 22Therefore thus says the Lord God, ‘Behold, I am 55against Pharaoh king of Egypt and will break his arms, both the strong and the 56broken; and I will make the sword 57fall from his hand. 23I will 58scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands. 24For I will 59strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put 60My sword in his hand; and I will break the arms of Pharaoh, so that he will groan before him with the groanings of a wounded man. 25Thus I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh will fall. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I put My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he 61stretches it out against the land of Egypt. 26When I scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands, then they will know that I am the Lord.’”
