Ezekiel

1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, say­ing, 2 Son of man, proph­esy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Howl ye, Woe worth the day! 3 For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the hea­then. 4 And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her mul­ti­tude, and her foun­da­tions shall be bro­ken down. 5 Ethiopia, and Libya, and Ly­dia, and all the min­gled peo­ple, and Chub, and the men 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 the tow­er of 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 when all her helpers shall be de­stroyed. 9 In that day shall mes­sen­gers go forth from me in ships to make the care­less Ethiopi­ans afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as 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 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 sell the land into the hand of the wicked: and I will make the land waste, 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 their im­ages to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince 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 fire in Zoan, and will ex­e­cute judg­ments in No. 15 And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the mul­ti­tude of No. 16 And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain, and No shall be rent asun­der, and Noph shall have dis­tress­es dai­ly. 17 The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword: and these cities shall go into cap­tiv­i­ty. 18 At Tehaph­ne­hes also the day shall be dark­ened, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt: and the pomp of her strength 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 shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to 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 Pharaoh's arms, and he shall groan be­fore him with the groan­ings of a dead­ly wound­ed man. 25 But I will strength­en 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 among the coun­tries; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
