Ezekiel 29:8-21

8‘ThereforeH3651 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559 thisH3541: “BeholdH2009, I am going to 1bringH935 upon you a swordH2719, and I will cutH3772 offH3772 from you humanH120 and animalH929 life. 9The 2landH776 of EgyptH4714 will becomeH1961 a desolationH8077 and placeH2723 ofH2723 ruinsH2723. 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 6canalsH2975, and I will makeH5414 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 an utterH2721 wasteH2721 and desolationH8077, from MigdolH4024 to SyeneH5482 and as farH5704 as the borderH1366 of 7CushH3568. 11A humanH120 footH7272 will 8not 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 9midstH8432 of desertedH8074 landsH776. And her citiesH5892, in the midstH8432 of citiesH5892 that are laidH2717 wasteH2717, will be desolateH8077 for fortyH705 yearsH8141; and I will 10scatterH6327 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 11gatherH6908 the EgyptiansH4714 from the peoplesH5971 12amongH8033 whomH834 they were scatteredH6327. 14And I will restoreH7725 the fortunesH7622 of EgyptH4714 and bringH7725 them backH7725 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 not raiseH5375 itself aboveH5921 the nationsH1471 againH5750. And I will makeH4591 them smallH4591 soH1115 thatH1115 they willH1115 notH1115 15ruleH7287 overH5921 the nationsH1471. 16And it will noH3808 longerH5750 be a kingdom onH4009 whichH4009 16the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 reliesH4009, 1718bringingH2142 toH2142 mindH2142 the guiltH5771 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 23hadH7139 a 24baldH7139 spotH7139 and everyH3605 shoulderH3802 was rubbedH4803 rawH4803. But he and his armyH2428 acquiredH1961 noH3808 wagesH7939 from TyreH6865 for the laborH5656 that he had 25performedH5647 againstH5921 it.” 19ThereforeH3651 thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, I am going to 26giveH5414 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894. And he will carryH5375 offH5375 her 27wealthH1995 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 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 amongH8432 them. Then they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.”
