ABP - Ezekiel - 29

29:1  In the [2year 1tenth], in the tenth month, day one of the month, [3came 1the word 2of the lord] to me saying,

29:2  O son of man, firmly fix your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against entire Egypt!

29:3  Speak and say! Thus says Adonai the lord; Behold, I am against you, O Pharaoh king of Egypt, the [2dragon 1great], the one lying in wait in the midst of his rivers. The one saying, [3are mine 1The 2rivers], and I made them.

29:4  And I will put snares into your jaws, and I will cleave the fishes of your river to your wings. And I will lead you from out of the midst of your river, and all the fishes of the river [2to 3your scales 1I will cleave].

29:5  And I will throw you down quickly, and all the fishes of your river. Upon the face of the plain you shall fall, and no way shall you be brought together; and no way shall you be screened. To the wild beasts of the earth, and to the winged creatures of the heaven I have given you for a thing to be devoured.

29:6  And [5shall know 1all 2the ones 3dwelling 4Egypt] that I am the lord, because you became a rod of reed to the house of Israel.

29:7  When they took hold of you with their hand, then you were fractured; and when [3prevailed 4against 5them 1every 2hand]. And when they rested upon you, you were broken, and you broke [3of them 2of all 1the loin].

29:8  On account of this, thus says Adonai the lord; Behold, I bring upon you the broadsword; and I will destroy men from you, and beasts.

29:9  And [4will be 1the 2land 3of Egypt] for destruction and desolation. And they shall know that I am the lord, because of your saying, The rivers are mine and I made them.

29:10  On account of this, behold, I am against you, and against all your rivers. And I will give the land of Egypt unto desolation, broadsword, and destruction, from Migdol and Syene even unto the borders of the Ethiopians.

29:11  In no way shall there go through by it the foot of a man; and the foot of a beast in no way shall go through it, and it shall not be inhabited forty years.

29:12  And I will appoint her land for destruction in the midst of a land being made desolated, and her cities [2in 3the midst 4of cities 5being made desolated 1shall be] for extinction forty years. And I will scatter Egypt among the nations, and I will winnow them among the places.

29:13  Thus says Adonai the lord; After forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations of which they were dispersed there.

29:14  And I will return the captivity of the Egyptians, and I will settle them in the land of Phathros, in the land from where they were taken; and it will be [2rule 1a humble] there,

29:15  more than all the rules, it shall be least to not be raised up high any more over the nations. And [3very few 2them 1I will make], so as for [2to not be 1them] many among the nations.

29:16  And no longer will they be any more [3to the 4house 5of Israel 1for 2a hope], calling to mind lawlessness in their following after them. And they shall know that I am Adonai the lord.

29:17  And it came to pass in the seventh and twentieth year, day one of the [2month 1first], came the word of the lord to me, saying,

29:18  O son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon reduced to slavery his force [2service 1for a great] against Tyre. Every head was bald and every shoulder loose of hair. And a wage did not exist to him, and his force was against Tyre, for the service of which they served against it.

29:19  On account of this, thus says Adonai the lord; Behold, I give to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon the land of Egypt; and he shall despoil her spoils, and he shall plunder her plunder; and it will be the wage for his force.

29:20  In return for his ministration of which he served against Tyre, I have given to him the land of Egypt, because of as much as he worked to me, says Adonai the lord.

29:21  In that day there shall rise up a horn to all the house of Israel, and I will give to you a mouth being opened in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the lord.
