## Those Who Support Egypt Will Fall 

###### 1
The word of Yahweh came again to me saying, 

###### 2
"Son of man, prophesy and say, 'Thus says Lord Yahweh, "Wail, 'Alas for the day!' 

###### 3
For the day is near, Even the day of Yahweh is near; It will be a day of clouds, A time _of doom_ for the nations. 

###### 4
A sword will come upon Egypt, And anguish will be in Ethiopia; When the slain fall in Egypt, They take away her multitude, And her foundations are pulled down. 

###### 5
Ethiopia, Put, Lud, all Arabia, Libya, and the people of the land that is in covenant will fall with them by the sword." 

###### 6
'Thus says Yahweh, "Indeed, those who support Egypt will fall, And the pride of her strength will come down; From Migdol _to_ Syene They will fall within her by the sword," Declares Lord Yahweh. 

###### 7
"They will be desolate In the midst of the desolated lands; And her cities will be In the midst of the cities laid waste. 

###### 8
And they will know that I am Yahweh, When I set a fire in Egypt And all her helpers are broken. 

###### 9
On that day messengers will go forth from Me in ships to frighten secure Ethiopia; and anguish will be on them as on the day of Egypt; for behold, it is coming!" 

###### 10
'Thus says Lord Yahweh, "I will also make the multitude of Egypt cease By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. 

###### 11
He and his people with him, The most ruthless of the nations, Will be brought in to make the land a ruin; And they will draw their swords against Egypt And fill the land with the slain. 

###### 12
Moreover, I will make the canals of the Nile dry And sell the land into the hands of evil men. And I will make the land desolate, As well as its fullness, By the hand of strangers; I, Yahweh, have spoken." 

###### 13
'Thus says Lord Yahweh, "I will also destroy the idols And make the images cease from Memphis. And there will no longer be a prince in the land of Egypt; And I will put fear in the land of Egypt. 

###### 14
I will make Pathros desolate, Set a fire in Zoan, And execute judgments on Thebes. 

###### 15
I will pour out My wrath on Sin, The strong defense of Egypt; I will also cut off the multitude of Thebes. 

###### 16
I will set a fire in Egypt; Sin will writhe in anguish; Thebes will be breached, And Memphis _will have_ distresses daily. 

###### 17
The choice men of On and of Pi-beseth Will fall by the sword, And the women will go into captivity. 

###### 18
In Tehaphnehes the day will be dark When I break there the bars of the yoke of Egypt. Then the pride of her strength will cease in her; A cloud will cover her, And her daughters will go into captivity. 

###### 19
Thus I will execute judgments on Egypt, And they will know that I am Yahweh."'" 

## Yahweh Scatters the Egyptians 

###### 20
In the eleventh year, in the first _month_, on the seventh of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me saying, 

###### 21
"Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and behold, it has not been bound up to _be_ given healing or wrapped with a bandage, that it may be strong to seize the sword. 

###### 22
Therefore thus says Lord Yahweh, 'Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt and will break his arms, both the strong and the broken; and I will make the sword fall from his hand. 

###### 23
I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands. 

###### 24
For I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put My 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. 

###### 25
Thus I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh will fall. Then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I put My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he stretches it out against the land of Egypt. 

###### 26
When I scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands, then they will know that I am Yahweh.'"
