1THE WORD of the Lord came again to me, saying,
2Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus says the Lord God: Wail, Alas for the day!
3For the day is near, even the day of the Lord is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time [of doom] for the nations.
4And a sword shall come upon Egypt, and anguish {and} great sorrow shall be in Ethiopia (Cush), when the slain fall in Egypt and they [of Babylon] carry away her great mass of people {and} of things and her foundations are broken down.
5Ethiopia (Cush) and Put, Lud and all the mingled people [foreigners living in Egypt], Cub (Lub, Libya) and the children of the land of the covenant [the Jews who had taken refuge in Egypt] shall fall with [the Egyptians] by the sword.
6Thus says the Lord: They also who uphold {or} lean upon {and} are supported by Egypt shall fall, and the pride of her power shall come down; from Migdol [in the north] to Syene [in the south] they shall fall within her by the sword, says the Lord God.
7And they shall be desolated in the midst of countries that are desolated, and her cities shall be in the midst of cities that are wasted [by plunder and subjection].
8And they shall know (understand and realize) that I am the Lord [the Sovereign Ruler, Who calls forth loyalty and obedient service], when I have set a fire in Egypt and all her helpers are broken {and} destroyed.
9In that day shall [swift] messengers go forth from Me in ships to terrify the careless {and} unsuspecting Ethiopians, and there shall be anguish {and} great sorrow upon them as in the day of Egypt's [doom], for behold, [their day] comes!
10Thus says the Lord God: I will also make the tumult {and} the wealth {and} the large population of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.
11He and his people with him, the [most] terrible of the nations, shall be brought in to destroy the land, and they shall draw their swords against Egypt and fill the land with the slain.
12And I will make the [artificial] streams [of the Nile delta] dry and will sell the land into the hand of evil men, and I will make the land desolate, and all that is in it, by the hand of strangers. I the Lord [the Sovereign Ruler, Who calls forth loyalty and obedient service] have spoken it.
13Thus says the Lord God: I will also destroy the idols and I will put an end to the images in Noph {or} Memphis, and there shall be no longer a prince of the land of Egypt. And I will put fear in the land of Egypt.
14And I will make Pathros desolate and will set fire to Zoan and will execute judgments {and} punishments upon No {or} Thebes.
15And I will pour My wrath upon Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt, and I will cut off the tumult, the prosperity {and} the population of No {or} Thebes.
16And I will set fire to Egypt; Pelusium shall have great anguish and No {or} Thebes shall be torn open and Noph {or} Memphis shall have adversaries in the daytime {and} all the day long.
17The young men of Aven {or} On and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword, and the [women and children] shall go into captivity.
18At Tehaphnehes also the day shall withdraw itself {and} be dark when I break there the yokes {and} dominion of Egypt, and the pride of her power shall come to an end. As for her, a cloud [of calamities] shall cover her and her daughters shall go into captivity.
19Thus will I execute judgments {and} punishments upon Egypt. Then shall they know (understand and realize) that I am the Lord [the Sovereign Ruler, Who calls forth loyalty and obedient service].
20And in the eleventh year [after King Jehoiachin was taken to Babylon], in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
21Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and behold, it has not been bound up to heal it by binding it with a bandage, to make it strong to hold {and} wield the sword.
22Therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt and will break his arms, both the strong one and the one which was broken, and I will cause the sword to fall from his hand.
23And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and will disperse them throughout the countries.
24And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put My sword in his hand, but I will break Pharaoh's arms and he will groan before [Nebuchadrezzar] with the groanings of a mortally wounded man.
25But I will strengthen {and} hold up the arms of the king of Babylon and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down, and they [of Egypt] shall know (understand and realize) that I am the Lord [the Sovereign Ruler, Who calls forth loyalty and obedient service], when I put My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.
26And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them through the countries, and they shall know (understand and realize) that I am the Lord [the Sovereign Ruler, Who calls forth loyalty and obedient service].
