Jubilee2000 - Ezekiel - 30

30:1  And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

30:2  Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus hath the Lord GOD said: Howl ye, Woe of the day!

30:3  For the day [is] near, even the day of the LORD [is] near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the Gentiles.

30:4  And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and [great] fear shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be destroyed.

30:5  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.

30:6  Thus hath the LORD said: Those also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down; from the tower of Syene they shall fall in it by the sword, said the Lord GOD.

30:7  And they shall be made desolate among the countries [that are] destroyed, and her cities shall be among the cities [that are] wasted.

30:8  And they shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have set a fire in Egypt and [when] all her helpers shall be broken.

30:9  In that time messengers shall go forth from me in ships to make the confident Ethiopians afraid, and great fear shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, behold, it comes.

30:10  Thus hath the Lord GOD said: I will make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.

30:11  He and his people with him, the strongest of the Gentiles, shall be brought to destroy the land; and they shall draw their swords against Egypt and fill the land with the slain.

30:12  And I will make the rivers dry and deliver the land into the hand of the wicked: and I will destroy the land and all that is therein by the hand of strangers: I the LORD have spoken.

30:13  Thus hath the Lord GOD said: I will also destroy the images, and I will cause the idols of Menfis to cease; and there shall no longer be a prince of the land of Egypt: and I will put fear in the land of Egypt.

30:14  And I will make Pathros desolate and will set fire in Tafnes and will execute judgments in No.

30:15  And I will pour my fury upon Pelusio, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.

30:16  And I will set fire to Egypt; Pelusio shall have great pain, and No shall be rent asunder, and Menfis [shall have] distresses daily.

30:17  The young men of Heliopolis and of Pubasti shall fall by the sword; and these [cities] shall go into captivity.

30:18  At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt; and the pride of her strength shall cease in her; [as for her], a cloud shall cover her, and the inhabitants of her villages shall go into captivity.

30:19  Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.

30:20  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,

30:21  Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, behold, it has not been bound up with medicine, to bind it that it might be made whole, to make it strong to hold the sword.

30:22  Therefore thus hath the Lord GOD said: 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.

30:23  And I will scatter the Egyptians among the Gentiles and will disperse them through the countries.

30:24  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 [man] wounded unto death.

30:25  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 place my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.

30:26  And I will scatter the Egyptians among the Gentiles and disperse them among the countries; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.:
