Chapter 29

¹In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me: ²“Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against all Egypt; ³speak, and say, Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lies in the midst of his streams, that says, ‘My Nile is my own; I made it for myself.’ ⁴I will put hooks in your jaws and make the fish of your streams stick to your scales, and I will draw you up out of the midst of your streams, with all the fish of your streams sticking to your scales. ⁵And I will cast you out into the wilderness, you and all the fish of your streams; on the open field you shall fall, you shall not be gathered or collected; to the beasts of the earth and to the birds of the heavens I give you as food. ⁶Then 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. ⁷When they grasped you with the hand, you broke and tore all their shoulders; and when they leaned on you, you broke and made all their loins to shake.” ⁸Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will bring a sword upon you, and will cut off from you man and beast. ⁹The land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste. Then they will know that I am the LORD. Because he said, ‘The Nile is mine, and I made it,’ ¹⁰therefore, behold, I am against you and against your streams, and I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from Migdol to Syene, as far as the border of Ethiopia. ¹¹No foot of man shall pass through it, and no foot of beast shall pass through it; it shall be uninhabited for forty years. ¹²And I will make the land of Egypt a desolation among desolate countries, and her cities shall be a desolation forty years among cities that are laid waste. I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries. ¹³“For thus says the Lord GOD: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples among whom they were scattered, ¹⁴and I will restore the fortunes of Egypt and bring them back to the land of Pathros, to the land of their origin, and there they shall be a humble kingdom. ¹⁵It shall be the humblest of the kingdoms and shall never again exalt itself above the nations. And I will make them so small that they will never again rule over the nations. ¹⁶And it shall never again be the reliance of the house of Israel, recalling their iniquity, when they turn to them for aid. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.” ¹⁷In the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me: ¹⁸“Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made his army labor hard against Tyre. Every head was made bald, and every shoulder was rubbed bare, yet neither he nor his army got any wages from Tyre for the labor that he expended against it. ¹⁹Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and he shall carry off its wealth and despoil it and plunder it; and it shall be the wages for his army. ²⁰I have given him the land of Egypt as his compensation for the service that he rendered, because they worked for me, declares the Lord GOD. ²¹“On that day I will cause a horn to spring up for the house of Israel, and I will open your lips among them. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
