Ezekiel 29

Judgment of Egypt

1In the 1tenthH6224 yearH8141, in the tenthH6224 month, on the twelfthH8147H6240 of the monthH2320, the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me, sayingH559, 2“SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 your faceH6440 againstH5921 2PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and prophesyH5012 againstH5921 him and againstH5921 allH3605 3EgyptH4714. 3SpeakH1696 and sayH559, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 4GodH3068 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, I am againstH5921 you, PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, The greatH1419 56monsterH8577 that liesH7257 in the midstH8432 of his 7canalsH2975, That 8has saidH559, ‘My NileH2975 is mine, and I myselfH589 have madeH6213 it.’4I will putH5414 9hooksH2397 in your jawsH3895 And make the fishH1710 of your 10canalsH2975 clingH1692 to your scalesH7193. And I will bringH5927 you upH5927 out of the midstH8432 of your 11canalsH2975, And allH3605 the fishH1710 of your 12canalsH2975 will clingH1692 to your scalesH7193.5I will 13abandonH5203 you to the wildernessH4057, you and allH3605 the fishH1710 of your 14canalsH2975; You will fallH5307 on the 15openH6440 fieldH7704; you will not be broughtH622 togetherH622 or 1617gatheredH6908. I have givenH5414 you for 18foodH402 to the animalsH2421 of the earthH776 and to the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064.6Then allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of EgyptH4714 will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068, BecauseH3282 they have beenH1961 only a 19staffH4938 made of reedH7070 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.7When they tookH8610 holdH8610 of you with the handH3709, You 20brokeH7533 and toreH1234 allH3605 their 21handsH3802; And when they leanedH8172 on you, You brokeH7665 and made allH3605 their hipsH4975 22shakeH4571.”

8‘ThereforeH3651 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559 thisH3541: “BeholdH2009, I am going to 23bringH935 upon you a swordH2719, and I will cutH3772 offH3772 from you humanH120 and animalH929 life. 9The 24landH776 of EgyptH4714 will becomeH1961 a desolationH8077 and placeH2723 ofH2723 ruinsH2723. Then they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.

“BecauseH3282 25you 26saidH559, ‘The NileH2975 is mine, and I have madeH6213 it,’ 10thereforeH3651, beholdH2009, I am 27againstH413 you and againstH413 your 28canalsH2975, and I will makeH5414 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 an utterH2721 wasteH2721 and desolationH8077, from MigdolH4024 to SyeneH5482 and as farH5704 as the borderH1366 of 29CushH3568. 11A humanH120 footH7272 will 30not passH5674 through it, norH3808 will the footH7272 of an animalH929 passH5674 through it, and it will not be inhabitedH3427 for fortyH705 yearsH8141. 12So I will makeH5414 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 a desolationH8077 in the 31midstH8432 of desertedH8074 landsH776. And her citiesH5892, in the midstH8432 of citiesH5892 that are laidH2717 wasteH2717, will be desolateH8077 for fortyH705 yearsH8141; and I will 32scatterH6327 the EgyptiansH4714 among the nationsH1471 and disperseH2219 them among the landsH776.”

13‘For thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “At the endH7093 of fortyH705 yearsH8141 I will 33gatherH6908 the EgyptiansH4714 from the peoplesH5971 34amongH8033 whomH834 they were scatteredH6327. 14And I will restoreH7725 the fortunesH7622 of EgyptH4714 and bringH7725 them backH7725 to the landH776 of 35PathrosH6624, to the landH776 of their originH4351, and thereH8033 they will be a lowlyH8217 kingdomH4467. 15It will be the 36lowestH8217 of the kingdomsH4467, and it will not raiseH5375 itself aboveH5921 the nationsH1471 againH5750. And I will makeH4591 them smallH4591 soH1115 thatH1115 they willH1115 notH1115 37ruleH7287 overH5921 the nationsH1471. 16And it will noH3808 longerH5750 be a kingdom onH4009 whichH4009 38the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 reliesH4009, 3940bringingH2142 toH2142 mindH2142 the guiltH5771 of their having turnedH6437 41to Egypt. Then they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH136 GodH3068.”’”

17Now in the 42twenty-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, 43NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 made his armyH2428 laborH5656 44hardH1419 againstH413 TyreH6865; everyH3605 headH7218 45hadH7139 a 46baldH7139 spotH7139 and everyH3605 shoulderH3802 was rubbedH4803 rawH4803. But he and his armyH2428 acquiredH1961 noH3808 wagesH7939 from TyreH6865 for the laborH5656 that he had 47performedH5647 againstH5921 it.” 19ThereforeH3651 thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, I am going to 48giveH5414 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894. And he will carryH5375 offH5375 her 49wealthH1995 and captureH7997 her spoilsH7998 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 5051performedH5647, becauseH834 they actedH6213 for Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.

21“On that dayH3117 I will make a 52hornH7161 sproutH6779 for the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and I will 5354openH5414H6610 your mouthH6310 amongH8432 them. Then they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.”
