1 In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, say­ing, 2 Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and proph­esy against him, and against all Egypt: 3 Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Be­hold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great drag­on that li­eth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My riv­er is mine own, and I have made it for my­self. 4 But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales. 5 And I will leave thee thrown into the wilder­ness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou shalt not be brought to­geth­er, nor gath­ered: I have giv­en thee for meat to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heav­en. 6 And all the in­hab­i­tants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD, be­cause they have been a staff of reed to the house of Is­rael. 7 When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their shoul­der: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brak­est, and madest all their loins to be at a stand. 8 There­fore thus saith the Lord GOD; Be­hold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee. 9 And the land of Egypt shall be des­o­late and waste; and they shall know that I am the LORD: be­cause he hath said, The riv­er is mine, and I have made it. 10 Be­hold, there­fore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt ut­ter­ly waste and des­o­late, from the tow­er of Syene even unto the bor­der of Ethiopia. 11 No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, nei­ther shall it be in­hab­it­ed forty years. 12 And I will make the land of Egypt des­o­late in the midst of the coun­tries that are des­o­late, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be des­o­late forty years: and I will scat­ter the Egyp­tians among the na­tions, and will dis­perse them through the coun­tries. 13 Yet thus saith the Lord GOD; At the end of forty years will I gath­er the Egyp­tians from the peo­ple whith­er they were scat­tered: 14 And I will bring again the cap­tiv­i­ty of Egypt, and will cause them to re­turn into the land of Pathros, into the land of their habi­ta­tion; and they shall be there a base king­dom. 15 It shall be the basest of the king­doms; nei­ther shall it ex­alt it­self any more above the na­tions: for I will di­min­ish them, that they shall no more rule over the na­tions. 16 And it shall be no more the con­fi­dence of the house of Is­rael, which bringeth their in­iq­ui­ty to re­mem­brance, when they shall look af­ter them: but they shall know that I am the Lord GOD. 17 And it came to pass in the sev­en and twen­ti­eth year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, say­ing, 18 Son of man, Neb­uchadrez­zar king of Baby­lon caused his army to serve a great ser­vice against Tyrus: ev­ery head was made bald, and ev­ery shoul­der was peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the ser­vice that he had served against it: 19 There­fore thus saith the Lord GOD; Be­hold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Neb­uchadrez­zar king of Baby­lon; and he shall take her mul­ti­tude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army. 20 I have giv­en him the land of Egypt for his labour where­with he served against it, be­cause they wrought for me, saith the Lord GOD. 21 In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Is­rael to bud forth, and I will give thee the open­ing of the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
