jub - Ezekiel:29

jub@Ezekiel:29:1 @ In the tenth year, in the tenth [month], in the twelfth [day] of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

jub@Ezekiel:29:2 @ Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt.

jub@Ezekiel:29:3 @ Speak and say, Thus hath the Lord GOD said: Behold, I [am] against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lies in the midst of his rivers, who has said, My river [is] my own, and I have made [it] for myself.

jub@Ezekiel:29:4 @ 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 come out stuck onto thy scales.

jub@Ezekiel:29:5 @ 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 food to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven.

jub@Ezekiel:29:6 @ 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.

jub@Ezekiel:29:7 @ When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou didst brake and make all their loins to come to nothing.

jub@Ezekiel:29:8 @ Therefore thus hath the Lord GOD said: Behold, I bring a sword upon thee and will cut off man and beast out of thee.

jub@Ezekiel:29:9 @ And the land of Egypt shall be made 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].

jub@Ezekiel:29:10 @ 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.

jub@Ezekiel:29:11 @ No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.

jub@Ezekiel:29:12 @ 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.

jub@Ezekiel:29:13 @ Yet thus hath the Lord GOD said: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples where they were scattered.

jub@Ezekiel:29:14 @ And I will turn to bring [again] the captives of Egypt and will cause them to return [into] the land of Pathros into the land of their habitation, and there they shall be a minor kingdom.

jub@Ezekiel:29:15 @ In comparison with the other kingdoms it shall be humble; neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations: for I will diminish them that they shall no longer rule among the Gentiles.

jub@Ezekiel:29:16 @ And it shall no longer be the confidence of the house of Israel, which brings [their] iniquity to remembrance, when they shall look after them, but they shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD.

jub@Ezekiel:29:17 @ And it came to pass in the twenty-seventh year, in the first [month], in the first [day] of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

jub@Ezekiel:29:18 @ Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre; every head [was] made bald, and every shoulder [was] peeled: and yet neither he nor his army had wages of Tyre, for the service that he had served against her.

jub@Ezekiel:29:19 @ Therefore thus hath the Lord GOD said; Behold, I give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude and gather her spoil and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.

jub@Ezekiel:29:20 @ I have given him the land of Egypt [for] his labour with which he served against her because they wrought for me, said the Lord GOD.

jub@Ezekiel:29:21 @ In that time I will 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.:
