1 In the tenth6224 year,8141 in the tenth6224 month, in the twelfth8147 6240 day of the month,2320 the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559

2 Son1121 of man,120 set7760 thy face6440 against5921 Pharaoh6547 king4428 of Egypt,4714 and prophesy5012 against5921 him, and against5921 all3605 Egypt: 4714

3 Speak,1696 and say,559 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I am against5921 thee, Pharaoh6547 king4428 of Egypt,4714 the great1419 dragon8577 that lieth7257 in the midst8432 of his rivers,2975 which834 hath said,559 My river2975 is mine own, and I589 have made6213 it for myself.

4 But I will put5414 hooks2397 in thy jaws,3895 and I will cause the fish1710 of thy rivers2975 to stick1692 unto thy scales,7193 and I will bring thee up5927 out of the midst4480 8432 of thy rivers,2975 and all3605 the fish1710 of thy rivers2975 shall stick1692 unto thy scales.7193

5 And I will leave5203 thee thrown into the wilderness,4057 thee and all3605 the fish1710 of thy rivers:2975 thou shalt fall5307 upon5921 the open6440 fields;7704 thou shalt not3808 be brought together,622 nor3808 gathered:6908 I have given5414 thee for meat402 to the beasts2416 of the field776 and to the fowls5775 of the heaven.8064

6 And all3605 the inhabitants3427 of Egypt4714 shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD,3068 because3282 they have been1961 a staff4938 of reed7070 to the house1004 of Israel.3478

7 When they took hold8610 of thee by thy hand,3709 thou didst break,7533 and rend1234 all3605 their shoulder:3802 and when they leaned8172 upon5921 thee, thou didst broke,7665 and madest all3605 their loins4975 to be at a stand.5976

8 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I will bring935 a sword2719 upon5921 thee, and cut off3772 man120 and beast929 out of4480 thee.

9 And the land776 of Egypt4714 shall be1961 desolate8077 and waste;2723 and they shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD:3068 because3282 he hath said,559 The river2975 is mine, and I589 have made6213 it.

10 Behold,2009 therefore3651 I am against413 thee, and against413 thy rivers,2975 and I will make5414 853 the land776 of Egypt4714 utterly waste2723 2721 and desolate,8077 from the tower4480 4024 of Syene5482 even unto5704 the border1366 of Ethiopia.3568

11 No3808 foot7272 of man120 shall pass5674 through it, nor3808 foot7272 of beast929 shall pass5674 through it, neither3808 shall it be inhabited3427 forty705 years.8141

12 And I will make5414 853 the land776 of Egypt4714 desolate8077 in the midst8432 of the countries776 that are desolate,8074 and her cities5892 among8432 the cities5892 that are laid waste2717 shall be1961 desolate8077 forty705 years:8141 and I will scatter6327 853 the Egyptians4714 among the nations,1471 and will disperse2219 them through the countries.776

13 Yet3588 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 At the end4480 7093 of forty705 years8141 will I gather6908 853 the Egyptians4714 from4480 the people5971 whither834 8033 they were scattered: 6327

14 And I will bring again7725 853 the captivity7622 of Egypt,4714 and will cause them to return7725 into the land776 of Pathros,6624 into5921 the land776 of their habitation;4351 and they shall be1961 there8033 a base8217 kingdom.4467

15 It shall be1961 the basest8217 of4480 the kingdoms;4467 neither3808 shall it exalt itself5375 any more5750 above5921 the nations:1471 for I will diminish4591 them, that they shall no more1115 rule7287 over the nations.1471

16 And it shall be1961 no3808 more5750 the confidence4009 of the house1004 of Israel,3478 which bringeth their iniquity to remembrance,2142 5771 when they shall look6437 after310 them: but they shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the Lord136 GOD.3069

17 And it came to pass1961 in the seven7651 and twentieth6242 year,8141 in the first7223 month, in the first259 day of the month,2320 the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559

18 Son1121 of man,120 Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 caused853 his army2428 to serve5647 a great1419 service5656 against413 Tyrus:6865 every3605 head7218 was made bald,7139 and every3605 shoulder3802 was peeled:4803 yet had1961 he no3808 wages,7939 nor his army,2428 for Tyrus,4480 6865 for5921 the service5656 that834 he had served5647 against5921 it:

19 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I will give5414 853 the land776 of Egypt4714 unto Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon;894 and he shall take5375 her multitude,1995 and take7997 her spoil,7998 and take962 her prey;957 and it shall be1961 the wages7939 for his army.2428

20 I have given5414 him853 the land776 of Egypt4714 for his labor6468 wherewith834 he served5647 against it, because834 they wrought6213 for me, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069

21 In that1931 day3117 will I cause the horn7161 of the house1004 of Israel3478 to bud forth,6779 and I will give5414 thee the opening6610 of the mouth6310 in the midst8432 of them; and they shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068
