Those Who Support Egypt Will Fall

Eze 30:1

The word of Yahweh came again to me saying,

Eze 30:2“Son of man, prophesy and say, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh,

“Wail, ‘Alas for the day!’

Eze 30:3

“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.

Eze 30:4

“A sword will come upon Egypt,

And anguish will be in [fn]Ethiopia;

When the slain fall in Egypt,

They take away her multitude,

And her foundations are pulled down.

Eze 30:5

[fn]Ethiopia, Put, Lud, all [fn]Arabia, [fn]Libya, and the [fn]people of the land [fn]that is in covenant will fall with them by the sword.”

Eze 30:6

‘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.

Eze 30:7

“They will be desolate

In the midst of the desolated lands;

And her cities will be

In the midst of the cities laid waste.

Eze 30:8

“And they will know that I am Yahweh,

When I set a fire in Egypt

And all her helpers are broken.

Eze 30:9

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

Eze 30:10

‘Thus says Lord Yahweh,

“I will also make the multitude of Egypt cease

By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.

Eze 30:11

“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.

Eze 30:12

“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.”

Eze 30:13

‘Thus says Lord Yahweh,

“I will also destroy the idols

And make the [fn]images cease from [fn]Memphis.

And there will no longer be a prince in the land of Egypt;

And I will put fear in the land of Egypt.

Eze 30:14

“I will make Pathros desolate,

Set a fire in Zoan,

And execute judgments on [fn]Thebes.

Eze 30:15

“I will pour out My wrath on [fn]Sin,

The strong defense of Egypt;

I will also cut off the multitude of [fn]Thebes.

Eze 30:16

“I will set a fire in Egypt;

[fn]Sin will writhe in anguish;

[fn]Thebes will be breached,

And [fn]Memphis will have [fn]distresses daily.

Eze 30:17

“The choice men of [fn]On and of Pi-beseth

Will fall by the sword,

And [fn]the women will go into captivity.

Eze 30:18

“In Tehaphnehes the day will [fn]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.

Eze 30:19

“Thus I will execute judgments on Egypt,

And they will know that I am Yahweh.”’”

Yahweh Scatters the Egyptians

Eze 30:20

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

Eze 30:21“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 [fn]or wrapped with a bandage, that it may be strong to seize the sword.
Eze 30:22“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.
Eze 30:23‘I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands.
Eze 30:24‘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.
Eze 30:25‘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.
Eze 30:26‘When I scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands, then they will know that I am Yahweh.’”
