Chapter 30

¹The word of the LORD came to me: ²“Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord GOD: “Wail, ‘Alas for the day!’ ³For the day is near, the day of the LORD is near; it will be a day of clouds, an hour of doom for the nations. ⁴A sword shall come upon Egypt, and anguish shall be in Cush, when the slain fall in Egypt, and her wealth is carried away, and her foundations are torn down. ⁵Cush, Put, and Lud, and all Arabia, and Libya, and the people of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.” ⁶“Thus says the LORD: Those who support Egypt shall fall, and her proud might shall come down; from Migdol to Syene they shall fall within her by the sword, declares the Lord GOD. ⁷And she shall be desolate among desolate countries, and her cities shall be in the midst of cities that are laid waste. ⁸Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have set fire in Egypt and all her helpers are broken. ⁹On that day messengers shall go out from me in ships to terrify the complacent people of Cush, and anguish shall come upon them as on the day of Egypt; for behold, it comes!” ¹⁰“Thus says the Lord GOD: I will put an end to the wealth of Egypt by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. ¹¹He and his people with him, the most ruthless of nations, shall be brought in to destroy the land, and they shall draw their swords against Egypt and fill the land with the slain. ¹²I will dry up the Nile canals and will sell the land into the hand of evildoers; I will bring desolation upon the land and everything in it, by the hand of foreigners; I am the LORD; I have spoken.” ¹³“Thus says the Lord GOD: I will destroy the idols and make an end of the images in Memphis; there shall no longer be a prince from the land of Egypt. I will put fear in the land of Egypt. ¹⁴I will make Pathros a desolation and will set fire to Zoan and will execute judgments on Thebes. ¹⁵And I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt, and cut off the multitude of Thebes. ¹⁶I will set fire to Egypt; Pelusium shall writhe in anguish; Thebes shall be split open, and Memphis shall suffer daily distress. ¹⁷The young men of On and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword, and the cities themselves shall go into captivity. ¹⁸At Tahpanhes the day shall be dark, when I break there the yoke bars of Egypt, and her proud might shall come to an end; when a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity. ¹⁹Thus will I execute judgments on Egypt. Then they will know that I am the LORD.” ²⁰In the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me: ²¹“Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and behold, it has not been bound up to heal it, or wrapped with a bandage, so that it may be strong to wield the sword. ²²Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and I will break his arms, both the strong arm and the one that was broken, and I will make the sword fall from his hand. ²³I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the countries. ²⁴And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put my sword in his hand, but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he will groan before him like a man mortally wounded. ²⁵I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh shall fall. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he stretches it out against the land of Egypt. ²⁶I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the countries. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
