* In the tenth year , in the tenth month , in the twelfth sh @nayim # 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 y @#or #, 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 y @#or #, 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 y @#or #: 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 Yisra #el #. * 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 y @#or #, 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 #arba #iym # 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 #arba #iym # 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 #arba #iym # 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 Yisra #el #, 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 causedhis 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 .
