* In the tenth year , the tenth month , the eleventh day of the month , the word of the Lord came to me , saying : * Son of man , set thy face against Pharao king of Egypt : and thou shalt prophesy of him , and of all Egypt : * Speak , and say : Thus saith the Lord God : Behold , I come against thee , Pharao king of Egypt , thou great dragon that liest in the midst of thy rivers , and sayest : The river is mine , and I made myself . * But I will put a bridle in thy jaws : and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick to thy scales : and I will draw thee out of the midst of thy rivers , and all thy fish shall stick to thy scales . * And I will cast thee forth into the desert , and all the fish of thy river : thou shalt fall upon the face of the earth , thou shalt not be taken up , nor gathered together : I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the earth , and to the fowls of the air . * And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord : because thou hast been a staff of a reed to the house of Israel . * When they took hold of thee with the hand thou didst break , and rent all their shoulder : and when they leaned upon thee , thou brokest , and weakenest all their loins . * Therefore thus saith the Lord God : Behold , I will bring the sword upon thee : and cut off man and beast out of thee . * And the land of Egypt shall become a desert , and a wilderness : and they shall know that I am the Lord : because thou hast said : The river is mine , and I made * Therefore , behold I come against thee , and thy rivers : and I will make the land of Egypt utterly desolate , and wasted by the sword , from the tower of Syene , even to the borders of Ethiopia . * The foot of man shall not pass through it , neither shall the foot of beasts go through it : nor shall it be inhabited during forty years . * And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the lands that are desolate , and the cities thereof in the midst of the cities that are destroyed , and they shall be desolate for forty gears : and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations , and will disperse them through the countries . * For thus saith the Lord God : At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the people among whom they had been scattered . * And I will bring hack the captivity of Egypt , and will place them in the land of Phatures , in the land of their nativity , and they shall be there a low kingdom : * It shall be the lowest among other kingdoms , and it shall no more be exalted over the nations , and I will diminish them that they shall rule no more over the nations . * And they shall be no more a confidence to the house of Israel , teaching iniquity , that they may flee , and follow them : and they shall know that I am the Lord God . * And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year , in the first month , in the first of the month : that the word of the Lord came to me , saying : * Son of man , Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon hath made his army to undergo hard service against Tyre : every head was made bald , and every shoulder was peeled : and there hath been no reward given him , nor his army for Tyre , for the service that he rendered me against * Therefore thus saith the Lord God : Behold , I will set Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon in the land of Egypt : and he shall take her multitude , and take the booty thereof for a prey , and rifle the spoils thereof : and it shall be wages for his army . * And for the service that he hath done me against it : I have given him the land of Egypt , because he hath laboured for me , saith the Lord God . * In that day a horn shall bud forth to the house of Israel , and I will give thee an open mouth in the midst of them : and they shall know that I am the Lord .
