## 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.'"
