Grief over Egypt

1The wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 again to me, sayingH559, 2“SonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 and sayH559, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 1GodH3068 saysH559: “2WailH3213, ‘WoeH1929 for the dayH3117!’3For the dayH3117 is nearH7138, Indeed, 3the dayH3117 of the LordH3068 is nearH7138; It will be a dayH3117 of 4cloudsH6051, A timeH6256 of doom for the nationsH1471.4A swordH2719 will comeH935 upon EgyptH4714, And there will be tremblingH2479 in 5CushH3568; When the slainH2491 fallH5307 in EgyptH4714, They will 6takeH3947 away her 7wealthH1995, And her foundationsH3247 will be tornH2040 downH2040. 58CushH3568, PutH6316, LudH3865, allH3605 910ArabiaH6152, 11LibyaH3864 and the 12peopleH1121 of the landH776 13that is in leagueH1285 will fallH5307 with them by the swordH2719.”

6‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “Indeed, those who supportH5564 14EgyptH4714 will fallH5307 And the prideH1347 of her powerH5797 will comeH3381 downH3381; From MigdolH4024 to SyeneH5482 They will fallH5307 within her by the swordH2719,” DeclaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.7“They will beH8074 desolateH8074 In the 15midstH8432 of the desolatedH8074 landsH776; And her citiesH5892 will be In the midstH8432 of the devastatedH2717 citiesH5892.8And they will 16knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068, When I setH5414 a 17fireH784 in EgyptH4714 And allH3605 her helpersH5826 are brokenH7665. 9On that dayH3117 18messengersH4397 will goH3318 outH3318 from Me in shipsH6716 to frightenH2729 19carefreeH983 20CushH3568; and 21tremblingH2479 will comeH1961 on them as on the dayH3117 of EgyptH4714; for beholdH2009, it is comingH935!”

10‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “22I will also make the 23hordesH1995 of EgyptH4714 ceaseH7673 By the handH3027 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894.11He and his peopleH5971 with him, 24The mostH6184 ruthlessH6184 of the nationsH1471, Will be broughtH935 inH935 to destroyH7843 the landH776; And they will drawH7385 their swordsH2719 againstH5921 EgyptH4714 And fillH4390 the landH776 with the slainH2491.12Moreover, I will makeH5414 the 25NileH2975 canalsH2975 dryH2724 And 26sellH4376 the landH776 into the handsH3027 of evilH7451 menH7451. And I will makeH8074 the landH776 desolateH8074 And 27allH4393 that is inH4393 it, By the handH3027 of strangersH2114; I the LordH3068 have spokenH1696.”

13‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “I will also 28destroyH6 the idolsH1544 And make the 29imagesH457 ceaseH7673 from 3031MemphisH5297. And there will noH3808 longerH5750 be a princeH5387 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; And I will putH5414 fearH3374 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.14I will makeH8074 32PathrosH6624 desolateH8074, SetH5414 a fireH784 in 33ZoanH6814 And executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 on 3435ThebesH4996.15I will pourH8210 outH8210 My wrathH2534 on 36SinH5512, The strongholdH4581 of EgyptH4714; I will also eliminateH3772 the hordesH1995 of 37ThebesH4996.16I will setH5414 a fireH784 in EgyptH4714; 38SinH5512 will writheH2342 inH2342 anguishH2342, 39ThebesH4996 will be breachedH1234 And 40MemphisH5297 will have 41distressesH6862 dailyH3119.17The youngH970 menH970 of 4243OnH204 and of Pi-besethH6364 Will fallH5307 by the swordH2719, And 44the womenH1992 will goH1980 into captivityH7628.18In 45TehaphnehesH8471 the dayH3117 will 46beH2821 47darkH2821 When I 48breakH7665 thereH8033 the yokeH4133 barsH4133 of EgyptH4714. Then the prideH1347 of her powerH5797 will ceaseH7673 in her; A cloudH6051 will coverH3680 her, And her daughtersH1323 will goH1980 into captivityH7628.19So I will 49executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 on EgyptH4714, And they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.”’”

Victory for Babylon

20In the 50eleventhH259H6240 yearH8141, in the firstH7223 month, on the seventhH7651 of the monthH2320, the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me, sayingH559, 21“SonH1121 of manH120, I have 51brokenH7665 the armH2220 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714; and, beholdH2009, it has not been 52boundH2280 upH2280 53for healingH7499 54or wrappedH2280 with a bandageH2848, so that it may be strongH2388 to wieldH8610 the swordH2719. 22ThereforeH3651 thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: ‘BeholdH2009, I am 55againstH413 PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and I will breakH7665 his armsH2220, both the strongH2389 and the 56brokenH7665; and I will make the swordH2719 57fallH5307 from his handH3027. 23And I will 58scatterH6327 the EgyptiansH4714 among the nationsH1471 and disperseH2219 them among the landsH776. 24For I will 59strengthenH2388 the armsH2220 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 and putH5414 60My swordH2719 in his handH3027; and I will breakH7665 the armsH2220 of PharaohH6547, so that he will groanH5008 beforeH6440 him with the groansH5009 of a woundedH2491 manH2491. 25So I will strengthenH2388 the armsH2220 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, but the armsH2220 of PharaohH6547 will failH5307. Then they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068, when I putH5414 My swordH2719 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 and he 61reachesH5186 outH5186 with it againstH413 the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 26When I scatterH6327 the EgyptiansH4714 among the nationsH1471 and disperseH2219 them among the landsH776, then they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.’”
