Ezekiel 29:8-21

8‘ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “BeholdH2009, I will 1bringH935 upon you a swordH2719 and I will cutH3772 offH3772 from you manH120 and beastH929. 9The 2landH776 of EgyptH4714 will becomeH1961 a desolationH8077 and wasteH2723. Then they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.

BecauseH3282 3you 4saidH559, ‘The NileH2975 is mine, and I have madeH6213 it,’ 10thereforeH3651, beholdH2009, I am 5againstH413 you and againstH413 your 6riversH2975, and I will makeH5414 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 an utterH2721 wasteH2721 and desolationH8077, from MigdolH4024 to SyeneH5482 and even to the borderH1366 of 7EthiopiaH3568. 11A man’sH120 footH7272 will 8not passH5674 through it, and the footH7272 of a beastH929 will not passH5674 through it, and it will not be inhabitedH3427 for fortyH705 yearsH8141. 12So I will makeH5414 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 a desolationH8077 in the 9midstH8432 of desolatedH8074 landsH776. And her citiesH5892, in the midstH8432 of citiesH5892 that are laidH2717 wasteH2717, will be desolateH8077 fortyH705 yearsH8141; and I will 10scatterH6327 the EgyptiansH4714 among the nationsH1471 and disperseH2219 them among the landsH776.”

13‘For thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “At the endH7093 of fortyH705 yearsH8141 I will 11gatherH6908 the EgyptiansH4714 from the peoplesH5971 12among whomH834H8033 they were scatteredH6327. 14I will turnH7725 the fortunesH7622 of EgyptH4714 and makeH7725 them returnH7725 to the landH776 of 13PathrosH6624, to the landH776 of their originH4351, and thereH8033 they will be a lowlyH8217 kingdomH4467. 15It will be the 14lowestH8217 of the kingdomsH4467, and it will neverH3808 againH5750 liftH5375 itself up aboveH5921 the nationsH1471. And I will makeH4591 them so smallH4591 that they will not 15ruleH7287 overH5921 the nationsH1471. 16And it will neverH3808 againH5750 be the 16confidenceH4009 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, 1718bringingH2142 to mindH2142 the iniquityH5771 of their having turnedH6437 19to Egypt. Then they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH136 GodH3068.”’”

17Now in the 20twenty-seventhH6242H7651 yearH8141, in the firstH7223 month, on the firstH259 of the monthH2320, the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me sayingH559, 18“SonH1121 of manH120, 21NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 made his armyH2428 laborH5656 22hardH1419 againstH413 TyreH6865; everyH3605 headH7218 was madeH7139 23baldH7139 and everyH3605 shoulderH3802 was rubbedH4803 bareH4803. But he and his armyH2428 hadH1961 noH3808 wagesH7939 from TyreH6865 for the laborH5656 that he had 24performedH5647 againstH5921 it.” 19ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “BeholdH2009, I 25will giveH5414 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894. And he will carryH5375 offH5375 her 2627wealthH1995 and captureH7997 her spoilH7998 and seizeH962 her plunderH957; and it will be wagesH7939 for his armyH2428. 20I have givenH5414 him the landH776 of EgyptH4714 for his laborH6468 whichH834 he 2829performedH5647, becauseH834 they actedH6213 for Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.

21“On that dayH3117 I will make a 30hornH7161 sproutH6779 for the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and I will 3132openH5414H6610 your mouthH6310 in their midstH8432. Then they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.”
