1. In the twelfth year, in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
|
1. In the tenth H6224 year H8141 , in the tenth H6224 month , in the twelfth H8147 H6240 day of the month H2320 , the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
2. Son of man, set thy face against Pharao king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against the whole of Egypt:
|
2. Son H1121 of man H120 , set H7760 thy face H6440 against H5921 Pharaoh H6547 king H4428 of Egypt H4714 , and prophesy H5012 against H5921 him , and against H5921 all H3605 Egypt H4714 :
|
|
3. and say, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I am against Pharao, the great dragon that lies in the midst of his rivers, that says, The rivers are mine, and I made them.
|
3. Speak H1696 , and say H559 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Behold H2009 , I am against H5921 thee, Pharaoh H6547 king H4428 of Egypt H4714 , the great H1419 dragon H8577 that lieth H7257 in the midst H8432 of his rivers H2975 , which H834 hath said H559 , My river H2975 is mine own , and I H589 have made H6213 it for myself.
|
|
4. And I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy river to stick to thy Gr. wings sides, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy river:
|
4. But I will put H5414 hooks H2397 in thy jaws H3895 , and I will cause the fish H1710 of thy rivers H2975 to stick H1692 unto thy scales H7193 , and I will bring thee up H5927 out of the midst H4480 H8432 of thy rivers H2975 , and all H3605 the fish H1710 of thy rivers H2975 shall stick H1692 unto thy scales H7193 .
|
|
5. and I will quickly cast down thee and all the fish of thy river: thou shalt fall on the face of the plain, and shalt by no means be gathered, and shalt not be brought together: I have given thee for food to the wild beasts of the earth and to the fowls of the sky.
|
5. And I will leave H5203 thee thrown into the wilderness H4057 , thee and all H3605 the fish H1710 of thy rivers H2975 : thou shalt fall H5307 upon H5921 the open H6440 fields H7704 ; thou shalt not H3808 be brought together H622 , nor H3808 gathered H6908 : I have given H5414 thee for meat H402 to the beasts H2416 of the field H776 and to the fowls H5775 of the heaven H8064 .
|
|
6. And all the dwellers in Egypt shall know that I am the Lord, because thou hast been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
|
6. And all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of Egypt H4714 shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 , because H3282 they have been H1961 a staff H4938 of reed H7070 to the house H1004 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
7. When they took hold of thee with their hand, thou didst break: and when every hand was clapped against them, and when they leaned on thee, thou wast utterly broken, and didst crush the loins of them all.
|
7. When they took hold H8610 of thee by thy hand H3709 , thou didst break H7533 , and rend H1234 all H3605 their shoulder H3802 : and when they leaned H8172 upon H5921 thee , thou didst broke H7665 , and madest all H3605 their loins H4975 to be at a stand H5976 .
|
|
8. Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and will cut off from thee man and beast;
|
8. Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Behold H2009 , I will bring H935 a sword H2719 upon H5921 thee , and cut off H3772 man H120 and beast H929 out of H4480 thee.
|
|
9. and the land of Egypt shall be ruined and desert; and they shall know that I am the Lord; because thou sayest, The rivers are mine, and I made them.
|
9. And the land H776 of Egypt H4714 shall be H1961 desolate H8077 and waste H2723 ; and they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 : because H3282 he hath said H559 , The river H2975 is mine , and I H589 have made H6213 it .
|
|
10. Therefore, behold, I am against thee, and against all thy rivers, and I will give up the land of Egypt to desolation, and the sword, and destruction, from Magdol and Syene even to the borders of the Ethiopians.
|
10. Behold H2009 , therefore H3651 I am against H413 thee , and against H413 thy rivers H2975 , and I will make H5414 H853 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 utterly waste H2723 H2721 and desolate H8077 , from the tower H4480 H4024 of Syene H5482 even unto H5704 the border H1366 of Ethiopia H3568 .
|
|
11. No foot of man shall pass through it, and no foot of beast shall pass through it, and it shall not be inhabited for forty years.
|
11. No H3808 foot H7272 of man H120 shall pass H5674 through it, nor H3808 foot H7272 of beast H929 shall pass H5674 through it, neither H3808 shall it be inhabited H3427 forty H705 years H8141 .
|
|
12. And I will cause her land to be utterly destroyed in the midst of a land that is desolate, and her cities shall be desolate forty years in the midst of cities that are desolate: and I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and will Gr. pulverise utterly scatter them into the countries.
|
12. And I will make H5414 H853 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 desolate H8077 in the midst H8432 of the countries H776 that are desolate H8074 , and her cities H5892 among H8432 the cities H5892 that are laid waste H2717 shall be H1961 desolate H8077 forty H705 years H8141 : and I will scatter H6327 H853 the Egyptians H4714 among the nations H1471 , and will disperse H2219 them through the countries H776 .
|
|
13. Thus saith the Lord; After forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations among whom they have been scattered;
|
13. Yet H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; At the end H4480 H7093 of forty H705 years H8141 will I gather H6908 H853 the Egyptians H4714 from H4480 the people H5971 whither H834 H8033 they were scattered H6327 :
|
|
14. and I will See Eph 4:8. A. V. margin turn the captivity of the Egyptians, and will cause them to dwell in the land of Phathore, in the land whence they were taken;
|
14. And I will bring again H7725 H853 the captivity H7622 of Egypt H4714 , and will cause them to return H7725 into the land H776 of Pathros H6624 , into H5921 the land H776 of their habitation H4351 ; and they shall be H1961 there H8033 a base H8217 kingdom H4467 .
|
|
15. and it shall be a base kingdom beyond all other kingdoms; it shall not any more be exalted over the nations; and I will make them few in number, that they may not be great among the nations.
|
15. It shall be H1961 the basest H8217 of H4480 the kingdoms H4467 ; neither H3808 shall it exalt itself H5375 any more H5750 above H5921 the nations H1471 : for I will diminish H4591 them , that they shall no more H1115 rule H7287 over the nations H1471 .
|
|
16. And they shall no more be to the house of Israel a confidence bringing iniquity to remembrance, when they follow after them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
|
16. And it shall be H1961 no H3808 more H5750 the confidence H4009 of the house H1004 of Israel H3478 , which bringeth their iniquity to remembrance H2142 H5771 , when they shall look H6437 after H310 them : but they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
|
|
17. And it came to pass in the twenty-seventh year, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
|
17. And it came to pass H1961 in the seven H7651 and twentieth H6242 year H8141 , in the first H7223 month , in the first H259 day of the month H2320 , the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
18. Son of man, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre; every head was bald, and every shoulder Heb. word in Greek letters peeled; yet there was no reward to him or to his army serving against Tyre, nor for the service wherewith they served against it.
|
18. Son H1121 of man H120 , Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 caused H853 his army H2428 to serve H5647 a great H1419 service H5656 against H413 Tyrus H6865 : every H3605 head H7218 was made bald H7139 , and every H3605 shoulder H3802 was peeled H4803 : yet had H1961 he no H3808 wages H7939 , nor his army H2428 , for Tyrus H4480 H6865 , for H5921 the service H5656 that H834 he had served H5647 against H5921 it:
|
|
19. Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will give to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon the land of Egypt, Heb. and Alex. +’and he shall take her multitude’ and he shall take the plunder thereof, and seize the spoils thereof; and it shall be a reward for his army.
|
19. Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Behold H2009 , I will give H5414 H853 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 unto Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 ; and he shall take H5375 her multitude H1995 , and take H7997 her spoil H7998 , and take H962 her prey H957 ; and it shall be H1961 the wages H7939 for his army H2428 .
|
|
20. In return for his service wherewith he served against Tyre, I have given him the land of Egypt; Alex. +’for all they did for me’ thus saith the Lord God:
|
20. I have given H5414 him H853 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 for his labor H6468 wherewith H834 he served H5647 against it, because H834 they wrought H6213 for me, saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
|
|
21. In that day shall a horn spring forth for all the house of Israel, and I will give thee an Lit. opened open mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
|
21. In that H1931 day H3117 will I cause the horn H7161 of the house H1004 of Israel H3478 to bud forth H6779 , and I will give H5414 thee the opening H6610 of the mouth H6310 in the midst H8432 of them ; and they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
