1. Thus the word of the LORD came to me:
|
1. The word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 again unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
2. Son of man, speak this prophecy: Thus says the Lord GOD: Cry, Oh, the day!
|
2. Son H1121 of man H120 , prophesy H5012 and say H559 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Howl H3213 ye, Woe H1929 worth the day H3117 !
|
|
3. for near is the day, near is the day of the LORD; a day of clouds, doomsday for the nations shall it be.
|
3. For H3588 the day H3117 is near H7138 , even the day H3117 of the LORD H3068 is near H7138 , a cloudy H6051 day H3117 ; it shall be H1961 the time H6256 of the heathen H1471 .
|
|
4. Then a sword shall come upon Egypt, and anguish shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain fall in Egypt, when her riches are seized and her foundations are overthrown.
|
4. And the sword H2719 shall come H935 upon Egypt H4714 , and great pain H2479 shall be H1961 in Ethiopia H3568 , when the slain H2491 shall fall H5307 in Egypt H4714 , and they shall take away H3947 her multitude H1995 , and her foundations H3247 shall be broken down H2040 .
|
|
5. Ethiopia, Put, Lud, all Arabia, Libya, and people of the allied territory shall fall by the sword with them.
|
5. Ethiopia H3568 , and Libya H6316 , and Lydia H3865 , and all H3605 the mingled people H6154 , and Chub H3552 , and the men H1121 of the land H776 that is in league H1285 , shall fall H5307 with H854 them by the sword H2719 .
|
|
6. Those who support Egypt shall fall, and down shall come her proud strength; from Migdol to Syene they shall fall there by the sword, says the Lord GOD.
|
6. Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 ; They also that uphold H5564 Egypt H4714 shall fall H5307 ; and the pride H1347 of her power H5797 shall come down H3381 : from the tower H4480 H4024 of Syene H5482 shall they fall H5307 in it by the sword H2719 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
|
|
7. She shall be the most devastated of lands, and her cities shall be the most desolate of all.
|
7. And they shall be desolate H8074 in the midst H8432 of the countries H776 that are desolate H8074 , and her cities H5892 shall be H1961 in the midst H8432 of the cities H5892 that are wasted H2717 .
|
|
8. Then they shall know that I am the LORD, when I set fire to Egypt and when all who help her are broken.
|
8. And they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 , when I have set H5414 a fire H784 in Egypt H4714 , and when all H3605 her helpers H5826 shall be destroyed H7665 .
|
|
9. On that day messengers shall hasten forth at my command to terrify unsuspecting Ethiopia; they shall be in anguish on the day of Egypt, which is surely coming.
|
9. In that H1931 day H3117 shall messengers H4397 go forth H3318 from H4480 H6440 me in ships H6716 to make H853 the careless H983 Ethiopians H3568 afraid H2729 , and great pain H2479 shall come H1961 upon them , as in the day H3117 of Egypt H4714 : for H3588 , lo H2009 , it cometh H935 .
|
|
10. Thus says the Lord GOD: I will put an end to the throngs of Egypt by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon.
|
10. Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; I will also make H853 the multitude H1995 of Egypt H4714 to cease H7673 by the hand H3027 of Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 .
|
|
11. He and his people with him, the most ruthless of nations, shall be brought in to devastate the land. They shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.
|
11. He H1931 and his people H5971 with H854 him , the terrible H6184 of the nations H1471 , shall be brought H935 to destroy H7843 the land H776 : and they shall draw H7324 their swords H2719 against H5921 Egypt H4714 , and fill H4390 H853 the land H776 with the slain H2491 .
|
|
12. I will turn the Niles into dry land and sell the land over to the power of the wicked. The land and everything in it I will hand over to foreigners to devastate. I, the LORD, have spoken.
|
12. And I will make H5414 the rivers H2975 dry H2724 , and sell H4376 H853 the land H776 into the hand H3027 of the wicked H7451 : and I will make the land waste H8074 H776 , and all that is therein H4393 , by the hand H3027 of strangers H2114 : I H589 the LORD H3068 have spoken H1696 it .
|
|
13. Thus says the Lord GOD: I will put an end to the great ones of Memphis and the princes of the land of Egypt, that they may be no more. I will cast fear into the land of Egypt, and devastate Pathros.
|
13. Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; I will also destroy H6 the idols H1544 , and I will cause their images H457 to cease H7673 out of Noph H4480 H5297 ; and there shall be H1961 no H3808 more H5750 a prince H5387 of the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 : and I will put H5414 a fear H3374 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714 .
|
|
14. I will set fire to Zoan, and inflict punishments on Thebes.
|
14. And I will make Pathros desolate H8074 H853 H6624 , and will set H5414 fire H784 in Zoan H6814 , and will execute H6213 judgments H8201 in No H4996 .
|
|
15. I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium, Egypt's stronghold, and cut down the crowds in Memphis.
|
15. And I will pour H8210 my fury H2534 upon H5921 Sin H5512 , the strength H4581 of Egypt H4714 ; and I will cut off H3772 H853 the multitude H1995 of No H4996 .
|
|
16. I will set fire to Egypt; Syene shall writhe in anguish; Thebes shall be breached and its walls shall be demolished.
|
16. And I will set H5414 fire H784 in Egypt H4714 : Sin H5512 shall have great pain H2342 H2342 , and No H4996 shall be H1961 rent asunder H1234 , and Noph H5297 shall have distresses H6862 daily H3119 .
|
|
17. The young men of On and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword, and the cities themselves shall go into captivity.
|
17. The young men H970 of Aven H205 and of Pi H6364 -beseth shall fall H5307 by the sword H2719 : and these H2007 cities shall go H1980 into captivity H7628 .
|
|
18. In Tehaphnehes the day shall be darkened when I break the scepter of Egypt. Her haughty pride shall cease from her, clouds shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.
|
18. At Tehaphnehes H8471 also the day H3117 shall be darkened H2820 , when I shall break H7665 there H8033 H853 the yokes H4133 of Egypt H4714 : and the pomp H1347 of her strength H5797 shall cease H7673 in her : as for her H1931 , a cloud H6051 shall cover H3680 her , and her daughters H1323 shall go H1980 into captivity H7628 .
|
|
19. Thus will I inflict punishments on Egypt, that they may know that I am the LORD.
|
19. Thus will I execute H6213 judgments H8201 in Egypt H4714 : and they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
|
|
20. On the seventh day of the first month in the eleventh year, the word of the LORD came to me:
|
20. And it came to pass H1961 in the eleventh H259 H6240 year H8141 , in the first H7223 month , in the seventh H7651 day of the month H2320 , that the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
21. Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and see, it has not been bound up with bandages and healing remedies that it may be strong enough to hold the sword.
|
21. Son H1121 of man H120 , I have broken H7665 H853 the arm H2220 of Pharaoh H6547 king H4428 of Egypt H4714 ; and, lo H2009 , it shall not H3808 be bound up H2280 to be healed H5414 H7499 , to put H7760 a roller H2848 to bind H2280 it , to make it strong H2388 to hold H8610 the sword H2719 .
|
|
22. Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: See! I am coming at Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. I will break his strong arm, so that the sword drops from his hand.
|
22. Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Behold H2009 , I am against H413 Pharaoh H6547 king H4428 of Egypt H4714 , and will break H7665 H853 his arms H2220 , H853 the strong H2389 , and that which was broken H7665 ; and I will cause H853 the sword H2719 to fall H5307 out of his hand H4480 H3027 .
|
|
23. I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and strew them over foreign lands.
|
23. And I will scatter H6327 H853 the Egyptians H4714 among the nations H1471 , and will disperse H2219 them through the countries H776 .
|
|
24. But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand, which he will bring against Egypt so as to plunder and pillage it.
|
24. And I will strengthen H2388 H853 the arms H2220 of the king H4428 of Babylon H894 , and put H5414 H853 my sword H2719 in his hand H3027 : but I will break H7665 H853 Pharaoh H6547 's arms H2220 , and he shall groan H5008 before H6440 him with the groanings H5009 of a deadly wounded H2491 man .
|
|
25. (I will make the arms of the king of Babylon strong, but the arms of Pharaoh shall drop.) Then they shall know that I am the LORD, when I put my sword in the hand of the king of Babylon for him to wield against the land of Egypt.
|
25. But I will strengthen H2388 H853 the arms H2220 of the king H4428 of Babylon H894 , and the arms H2220 of Pharaoh H6547 shall fall down H5307 ; and they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 , when I shall put H5414 my sword H2719 into the hand H3027 of the king H4428 of Babylon H894 , and he shall stretch it out H5186 H853 upon H413 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 .
|
|
26. (I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and strew them over foreign lands.) Thus they shall know that I am the LORD.
|
26. And I will scatter H6327 H853 the Egyptians H4714 among the nations H1471 , and disperse H2219 them among the countries H776 ; and they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
