Ezekiel 30:1-26 NASB

[1] The word of the Lord came again to me, saying, [2] “Son of man, prophesy and say, ‘This is what the Lord God says: “Wail, ‘Woe for the day!’ [3] “For the day is near, Indeed, the day of the Lord is near; It will be a day of clouds, A time of doom for the nations. [4] “A sword will come upon Egypt, And there will be trembling in Cush; When the slain fall in Egypt, They will take away her wealth, And her foundations will be torn down. [5] Cush, Put, Lud, all Arabia, Libya and the people of the land that is in league will fall with them by the sword.” [6] ‘This is what the Lord says: “Indeed, those who support Egypt will fall And the pride of her power will come down; From Migdol to Syene They will fall within her by the sword,” Declares the Lord God. [7] “They will be desolate In the midst of the desolated lands; And her cities will be In the midst of the devastated cities. [8] “And they will know that I am the Lord, When I set a fire in Egypt And all her helpers are broken. [9] On that day messengers will go out from Me in ships to frighten carefree Cush; and trembling will come on them as on the day of Egypt; for behold, it is coming!” [10] ‘This is what the Lord God says: “I will also make the hordes of Egypt cease By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. [11] “He and his people with him, The most ruthless of the nations, Will be brought in to destroy the land; And they will draw their swords against Egypt And fill the land with the slain. [12] “Moreover, I will make the Nile canals dry And sell the land into the hands of evil men. And I will make the land desolate And all that is in it, By the hand of strangers; I the Lord have spoken.” [13] ‘This is what the Lord God says: “I will also destroy the idols And make the images cease from Memphis. And there will no longer be a prince in the land of Egypt; And I will put fear in the land of Egypt. [14] “I will make Pathros desolate, Set a fire in Zoan And execute judgments on Thebes. [15] “I will pour out My wrath on Sin, The stronghold of Egypt; I will also eliminate the hordes of Thebes. [16] “I will set a fire in Egypt; Sin will writhe in anguish, Thebes will be breached And Memphis will have distresses daily. [17] “The young men of On and of Pi-beseth Will fall by the sword, And the women will go into captivity. [18] “In Tehaphnehes the day will be dark When I break there the yoke bars of Egypt. Then the pride of her power will cease in her; A cloud will cover her, And her daughters will go into captivity. [19] “So I will execute judgments on Egypt, And they will know that I am the Lord.”’” [20] In the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [21] “Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, behold, it has not been bound up for healing or wrapped with a bandage, so that it may be strong to wield the sword. [22] Therefore this is what the Lord God says: ‘Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and I will break his arms, both the strong and the broken; and I will make the sword fall from his hand. [23] And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands. [24] For I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put My sword in his hand; and I will break the arms of Pharaoh, so that he will groan before him with the groans of a wounded man. [25] So I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh will fail. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I put My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he reaches out with it against the land of Egypt. [26] When I scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands, then they will know that I am the Lord.’”
