* And the word of the LORD came unto me , saying : * 'Son of man , prophesy , and say : Thus saith the Lord GOD : Wail ye : Woe worth the day ! * For the day is near , even the day of the LORD is near , a day of clouds , it shall be the time of the nations . * And a sword shall come upon Egypt , and convulsion shall be in Ethiopia , when the slain shall fall in Egypt ; and they shall take away her abundance , and her foundation shall be broken down . * Ethiopia , and Put , and Lud , and all the mingled people , and Cub , and the children 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 Migdol to 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 all her helpers are destroyed . * In that day shall messengers go forth from before Me in ships to make the confident Ethiopians afraid ; and there shall come convulsion upon them 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 in 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 will give the land over into the hand of evil men ; and I will make the land desolate , 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 the things of nought to cease from Noph ; and there shall be no more a prince out 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 a fire in Zoan , and will execute judgments in No . * And I will pour My fury upon Sin , the stronghold of Egypt ; and I will cut off the multitude of No . * And I will set a fire in Egypt ; Sin shall be in great convulsion , and No shall be rent asunder ; and in Noph shall come adversaries in the day-time . * The young men of Aven and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword ; and these cities shall go into captivity . * At Tehaphnehes also the day shall withdraw itself , when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt , and the pride of her power 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 hath not been bound up to be healed , to put a roller , that it be bound up and wax strong , that it 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 the arms of Pharaoh , and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man . * And I will hold up 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 through the countries ; and they shall know that I am the LORD .'
