| 1 | And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying: |
| 2 | ’Son of man, prophesy, and say: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Wail ye: Woe worth the day! |
| 3 | For the day is near, Even the day of the LORD is near, A day of clouds, it shall be the time of the nations. |
| 4 | And a sword shall come upon Egypt, And convulsion shall be in Ethiopia, When the slain shall fall in Egypt; And they shall take away her abundance, And her foundation shall be broken down. |
| 5 | Ethiopia, and Put, and Lud, and all the mingled people, and Cub, and the children of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword. |
| 6 | Thus saith the LORD: They also that uphold Egypt shall fall, And the pride of her power shall come down; From Migdol to Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, Saith the Lord GOD. |
| 7 | And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, And her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted. |
| 8 | And they shall know that I am the LORD, When I have set a fire in Egypt, And all her helpers are destroyed. |
| 9 | In that day shall messengers go forth from before Me in ships To make the confident Ethiopians afraid; And there shall come convulsion upon them in the day of Egypt; For, lo, it cometh. |
| 10 | Thus saith the Lord GOD: I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease, By the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon. |
| 11 | He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, Shall be brought in to destroy the land; And they shall draw their swords against Egypt, And fill the land with the slain. |
| 12 | And I will make the rivers dry, And will give the land over into the hand of evil men; And I will make the land desolate, And all that is therein, by the hand of strangers; I the LORD have spoken it. |
| 13 | Thus saith the Lord GOD: I will also destroy the idols, And I will cause the things of nought to cease from Noph; And there shall be no more a prince out of the land of Egypt; And I will put a fear in the land of Egypt. |
| 14 | And I will make Pathros desolate, And will set a fire in Zoan, And will execute judgments in No. |
| 15 | And I will pour My fury upon Sin, the stronghold of Egypt; And I will cut off the multitude of No. |
| 16 | And I will set a fire in Egypt; Sin shall be in great convulsion, And No shall be rent asunder; And in Noph shall come adversaries in the day-time. |
| 17 | The young men of Aven and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword; And these cities shall go into captivity. |
| 18 | At Tehaphnehes also the day shall withdraw itself, When I shall break there the yokes of Egypt, And the pride of her power shall cease in her; As for her, a cloud shall cover her, And her daughters shall go into captivity. |
| 19 | Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt; And they shall know that I am the LORD.’ . |
| 20 | And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying: |
| 21 | ’Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it hath not been bound up to be healed, to put a roller, that it be bound up and wax strong, that it hold the sword. |
| 22 | Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand. |
| 23 | And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries. |
| 24 | And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put My sword in his hand; but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man. |
| 25 | And I will hold up the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall put My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt. |
| 26 | And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries; and they shall know that I am the LORD.’ |
