Ezekiel 30 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Grief over Egypt

Eze 30:1

The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,

Eze 30:2“Son of man, prophesy and say, ‘This is what the Lord [fn]GOD says:

“Wail, ‘Woe for the day!’

Eze 30:3

“For the day is near,

Indeed, the day of the LORD 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 there will be trembling in [fn]Cush;

When the slain fall in Egypt,

They will take away her [fn]wealth,

And her foundations will be torn down.

Eze 30:5

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

Eze 30:6

‘This is what the LORD says:

“Indeed, those who support Egypt will fall

And the pride of her power will come down;

From Migdol to Syene

They will fall within her by the sword,”

Declares the Lord GOD.

Eze 30:7

“They will be desolate

In the midst of the desolated lands;

And her cities will be

In the midst of the devastated cities.

Eze 30:8

“And they will know that I am the LORD,

When I set a fire in Egypt

And all her helpers are broken.

Eze 30:9

“On that day messengers will go out from Me in ships to frighten carefree [fn]Cush; and trembling will come on them as on the day of Egypt; for behold, it is coming!”

Eze 30:10

‘This is what the Lord GOD says:

“I will also make the [fn]hordes 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 destroy the land;

And they will draw their swords against Egypt

And fill the land with the slain.

Eze 30:12

“Moreover, I will make the Nile canals dry

And sell the land into the hands of evil men.

And I will make the land desolate

And [fn]all that is in it,

By the hand of strangers; I the LORD have spoken.”

Eze 30:13

‘This is what the Lord GOD says:

“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 stronghold of Egypt;

I will also eliminate the hordes 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 young 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 yoke bars of Egypt.

Then the pride of her power will cease in her;

A cloud will cover her,

And her daughters will go into captivity.

Eze 30:19

“So I will execute judgments on Egypt,

And they will know that I am the LORD.”’”

Victory for Babylon

Eze 30:20

In the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh of the month, the word of the LORD 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 [fn]for healing [fn]or wrapped with a bandage, so that it may be strong to wield the sword.
Eze 30:22“Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and I will break his arms, both the strong and the broken; and I will make the sword fall from his hand.
Eze 30:23‘And 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 groans of a wounded man.
Eze 30:25‘So I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh will fail. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I put My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he reaches out with it 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 the LORD.’”
