Ezekiel:29-32
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In the tenth year ,
in the tenth month ,
in the twelfth day of the month ,
the word of the LORD came unto me ,
saying ,
*
Son of man ,
set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt ,
and prophesy against him ,
and against all Egypt :
*
Speak ,
and say ,
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
Behold ,
I am against thee ,
Pharaoh king of Egypt ,
the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers ,
which hath said ,
My river is mine own ,
and I have made it for myself .
*
But I will put hooks in thy jaws ,
and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales ,
and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers ,
and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales .
*
And I will leave thee thrown into the wilderness ,
thee and all the fish of thy rivers :
thou shalt fall upon the open fields ;
thou shalt not be brought together ,
nor gathered :
I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven .
*
And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD ,
because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel .
*
When they took hold of thee by thy hand ,
thou didst break ,
and rend all their shoulder :
and when they leaned upon thee ,
thou brakest ,
and madest all their loins to be at a stand .
*
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD ;
Behold ,
I will bring a sword upon thee ,
and cut off man and beast out of thee .
*
And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste ;
and they shall know that I am the LORD :
because he hath said ,
The river is mine ,
and I have made it .
*
Behold ,
therefore I am against thee ,
and against thy rivers ,
and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate ,
from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia .
*
No foot of man shall pass through it ,
nor foot of beast shall pass through it ,
neither shall it be inhabited forty years .
*
And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate ,
and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years :
and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations ,
and will disperse them through the countries .
*
Yet thus saith the Lord GOD ;
At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered :
*
And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt ,
and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros ,
into the land of their habitation ;
and they shall be there a base kingdom .
*
It shall be the basest of the kingdoms ;
neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations :
for I will diminish them ,
that they shall no more rule over the nations .
*
And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel ,
which bringeth their iniquity to remembrance ,
when they shall look after them :
but 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 day of the month ,
the word of the LORD came unto me ,
saying ,
*
Son of man ,
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus :
every head was made bald ,
and every shoulder was peeled :
yet had he no wages ,
nor his army ,
for Tyrus ,
for the service that he had served against it :
*
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD ;
Behold ,
I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon ;
and he shall take her multitude ,
and take her spoil ,
and take her prey ;
and it shall be the wages for his army .
*
I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour wherewith he served against it ,
because they wrought for me ,
saith the Lord GOD .
*
In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth ,
and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them ;
and they shall know that I am the LORD .
*
The word of the LORD came again unto me ,
saying ,
*
Son of man ,
prophesy and say ,
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
Howl ye ,
Woe worth the day !
*
For the day is near ,
even the day of the LORD is near ,
a cloudy day ;
it shall be the time of the heathen .
*
And the sword shall come upon Egypt ,
and great pain shall be in Ethiopia ,
when the slain shall fall in Egypt ,
and they shall take away her multitude ,
and her foundations shall be broken down .
*
Ethiopia ,
and Libya ,
and Lydia ,
and all the mingled people ,
and Chub ,
and the men of the land that is in league ,
shall fall with them by the sword .
*
Thus saith the LORD ;
They also that uphold Egypt shall fall ;
and the pride of her power shall come down :
from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword ,
saith the Lord GOD .
*
And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate ,
and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted .
*
And they shall know that I am the LORD ,
when I have set a fire in Egypt ,
and when all her helpers shall be destroyed .
*
In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid ,
and great pain shall come upon them ,
as in the day of Egypt :
for ,
lo ,
it cometh .
*
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon .
*
He and his people with him ,
the terrible of the nations ,
shall be brought to destroy the land :
and they shall draw their swords against Egypt ,
and fill the land with the slain .
*
And I will make the rivers dry ,
and sell the land into the hand of the wicked :
and I will make the land waste ,
and all that is therein ,
by the hand of strangers :
I the LORD have spoken it .
*
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
I will also destroy the idols ,
and I will cause their images to cease out of Noph ;
and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt :
and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt .
*
And I will make Pathros desolate ,
and will set fire in Zoan ,
and will execute judgments in No .
*
And I will pour my fury upon Sin ,
the strength of Egypt ;
and I will cut off the multitude of No .
*
And I will set fire in Egypt :
Sin shall have great pain ,
and No shall be rent asunder ,
and Noph shall have distresses daily .
*
The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword :
and these cities shall go into captivity .
*
At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened ,
when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt :
and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her :
as for her ,
a cloud shall cover her ,
and her daughters shall go into captivity .
*
Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt :
and they shall know that I am the LORD .
*
And it came to pass in the eleventh year ,
in the first month ,
in the seventh day of the month ,
that the word of the LORD came unto me ,
saying ,
*
Son of man ,
I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt ;
and ,
lo ,
it shall not be bound up to be healed ,
to put a roller to bind it ,
to make it strong to hold the sword .
*
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD ;
Behold ,
I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt ,
and will break his arms ,
the strong ,
and that which was broken ;
and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand .
*
And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations ,
and will disperse them through the countries .
*
And 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 shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man .
*
But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon ,
and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down ;
and they shall know that I am the LORD ,
when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon ,
and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt .
*
And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations ,
and disperse them among the countries ;
and they shall know that I am the LORD .
*
And it came to pass in the eleventh year ,
in the third month ,
in the first day of the month ,
that the word of the LORD came unto me ,
saying ,
*
Son of man ,
speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt ,
and to his multitude ;
Whom art thou like in thy greatness ?
*
Behold ,
the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches ,
and with a shadowing shroud ,
and of an high stature ;
and his top was among the thick boughs .
*
The waters made him great ,
the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants ,
and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field .
*
Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field ,
and his boughs were multiplied ,
and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters ,
when he shot forth .
*
All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs ,
and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young ,
and under his shadow dwelt all great nations .
*
Thus was he fair in his greatness ,
in the length of his branches :
for his root was by great waters .
*
The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him :
the fir trees were not like his boughs ,
and the chesnut trees were not like his branches ;
nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty .
*
I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches :
so that all the trees of Eden ,
that were in the garden of God ,
envied him .
*
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD ;
Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height ,
and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs ,
and his heart is lifted up in his height ;
*
I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen ;
he shall surely deal with him :
I have driven him out for his wickedness .
*
And strangers ,
the terrible of the nations ,
have cut him off ,
and have left him :
upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen ,
and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land ;
and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow ,
and have left him .
*
Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain ,
and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches :
*
To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height ,
neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs ,
neither their trees stand up in their height ,
all that drink water :
for they are all delivered unto death ,
to the nether parts of the earth ,
in the midst of the children of men ,
with them that go down to the pit .
*
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning :
I covered the deep for him ,
and I restrained the floods thereof ,
and the great waters were stayed :
and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him ,
and all the trees of the field fainted for him .
*
I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall ,
when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit :
and all the trees of Eden ,
the choice and best of Lebanon ,
all that drink water ,
shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth .
*
They also went down into hell with him unto them that be slain with the sword ;
and they that were his arm ,
that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen .
*
To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden ?
yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth :
thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword .
This is Pharaoh and all his multitude ,
saith the Lord GOD .
*
And it came to pass in the twelfth year ,
in the twelfth month ,
in the first day of the month ,
that the word of the LORD came unto me ,
saying ,
*
Son of man ,
take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt ,
and say unto him ,
Thou art like a young lion of the nations ,
and thou art as a whale in the seas :
and thou camest forth with thy rivers ,
and troubledst the waters with thy feet ,
and fouledst their rivers .
*
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
I will therefore spread out my net over thee with a company of many people ;
and they shall bring thee up in my net .
*
Then will I leave thee upon the land ,
I will cast thee forth upon the open field ,
and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to remain upon thee ,
and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee .
*
And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains ,
and fill the valleys with thy height .
*
I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest ,
even to the mountains ;
and the rivers shall be full of thee .
*
And when I shall put thee out ,
I will cover the heaven ,
and make the stars thereof dark ;
I will cover the sun with a cloud ,
and the moon shall not give her light .
*
All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee ,
and set darkness upon thy land ,
saith the Lord GOD .
*
I will also vex the hearts of many people ,
when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations ,
into the countries which thou hast not known .
*
Yea ,
I will make many people amazed at thee ,
and their kings shall be horribly afraid for thee ,
when I shall brandish my sword before them ;
and they shall tremble at every moment ,
every man for his own life ,
in the day of thy fall .
*
For thus saith the Lord GOD ;
The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee .
*
By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall ,
the terrible of the nations ,
all of them :
and they shall spoil the pomp of Egypt ,
and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed .
*
I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside the great waters ;
neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more ,
nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them .
*
Then will I make their waters deep ,
and cause their rivers to run like oil ,
saith the Lord GOD .
*
When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate ,
and the country shall be destitute of that whereof it was full ,
when I shall smite all them that dwell therein ,
then shall they know that I am the LORD .
*
This is the lamentation wherewith they shall lament her :
the daughters of the nations shall lament her :
they shall lament for her ,
even for Egypt ,
and for all her multitude ,
saith the Lord GOD .
*
It came to pass also in the twelfth year ,
in the fifteenth day of the month ,
that the word of the LORD came unto me ,
saying ,
*
Son of man ,
wail for the multitude of Egypt ,
and cast them down ,
even her ,
and the daughters of the famous nations ,
unto the nether parts of the earth ,
with them that go down into the pit .
*
Whom dost thou pass in beauty ?
go down ,
and be thou laid with the uncircumcised .
*
They shall fall in the midst of them that are slain by the sword :
she is delivered to the sword :
draw her and all her multitudes .
*
The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell with them that help him :
they are gone down ,
they lie uncircumcised ,
slain by the sword .
*
Asshur is there and all her company :
his graves are about him :
all of them slain ,
fallen by the sword :
*
Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit ,
and her company is round about her grave :
all of them slain ,
fallen by the sword ,
which caused terror in the land of the living .
*
There is Elam and all her multitude round about her grave ,
all of them slain ,
fallen by the sword ,
which are gone down uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth ,
which caused their terror in the land of the living ;
yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit .
*
They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude :
her graves are round about him :
all of them uncircumcised ,
slain by the sword :
though their terror was caused in the land of the living ,
yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit :
he is put in the midst of them that be slain .
*
There is Meshech ,
Tubal ,
and all her multitude :
her graves are round about him :
all of them uncircumcised ,
slain by the sword ,
though they caused their terror in the land of the living .
*
And they shall not lie with the mighty that are fallen of the uncircumcised ,
which are gone down to hell with their weapons of war :
and they have laid their swords under their heads ,
but their iniquities shall be upon their bones ,
though they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living .
*
Yea ,
thou shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised ,
and shalt lie with them that are slain with the sword .
*
There is Edom ,
her kings ,
and all her princes ,
which with their might are laid by them that were slain by the sword :
they shall lie with the uncircumcised ,
and with them that go down to the pit .
*
There be the princes of the north ,
all of them ,
and all the Zidonians ,
which are gone down with the slain ;
with their terror they are ashamed of their might ;
and they lie uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword ,
and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit .
*
Pharaoh shall see them ,
and shall be comforted over all his multitude ,
even Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword ,
saith the Lord GOD .
*
For I have caused my terror in the land of the living :
and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain with the sword ,
even Pharaoh and all his multitude ,
saith the Lord GOD .
*
Again the word of the LORD came unto me ,
