Ezekiel 29 📜 📕 ↷
A Prophecy against Pharaoh
1 IN the tenth year, the tenth month, the eleventh day of the month, the word of our Lord was made to me, saying:📜💬📚
2 Son of man, set thy face against Pharao the king of AEgypt: and thou shalt prophesy of him, & of all AEgypt.📜💬📚
3 Speak, and thou shalt say: Thus saith our Lord God: Behold I to thee Pharao king of AEgypt, thou great dragon, which liest in the midst of thy rivers, & sayest: The river is mine, & I made it my self.📜💬📚
4 And I will put a bridle in thy jaws: and I will fasten the fishes of thy rivers to thy scales: and I will draw thee out of the midst of the rivers, and all thy fishes shall stick to thy scales.📜💬📚
5 And I will cast thee forth into the desert, and all the fishes of thy river: thou shalt fall upon the face of the earth, thou shalt not be collected, nor gathered together: to the beasts of the earth, and to the fowls of the heaven have I given thee to be devoured.📜💬📚
6 And all the inhabitants of AEgypt shall know that I am the Lord: for that thou hast been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.📜💬📚
7 When they took thee with the hand, & thou wast broken, and didst rent all their shoulder: and they leaning upon thee, thou was broken, and didst dissolve all their reins.📜💬📚
Desolation of Egypt
8 Therefore thus saith our Lord God: Behold I will bring upon thee the sword: and will kill out of thee man, & beast.📜💬📚
9 And the Land of AEgypt shall be into a desert, and into a wilderness: & they shall know that I am the Lord: for that thou hast said: The river is mine, & I made it.📜💬📚
10 Therefore behold I to thee, and to thy rivers: and I will give the Land of AEgypt into desolations, destroyed with the sword, from the tower of Syene, even to the borders of Aethiopia.📜💬📚
11 The foot of men shall not pass through it, neither shall the foot of beast go in it: & it shall not be inhabited forty years.📜💬📚
12 And I will make the Land of AEgypt desert in the midst of desert lands, & the cities thereof in the midst of cities overthrown, and they shall be desolate forty years: & I will disperse the AEgyptians into nations, and will scatter them into the lands.📜💬📚
13 Because thus saith our Lord God: After the end of forty years I will gather AEgypt out of the peoples in which they had been dispersed.📜💬📚
14 And I will bring back the captivity of AEgypt, & will place them in the land of Phatures, in the land of their nativity, and they shall be there as a low kingdom:📜💬📚
15 among other kingdoms it shall be lowest, and it shall no more be elevated over the nations, and I will diminish them that they rule not over the Gentiles.📜💬📚
16 And they shall no more be to the house of Israel in confidence, teaching iniquity, that they may fly, and follow them: and they shall know that I am the Lord God.📜💬📚
Egypt the Reward of Nebuchadnezzar
17 And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first, in the first of the month: the word of our Lord was made to me, saying:📜💬📚
18 Son of man, Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon hath made his army to serve with great service against Tyre: every head made bald, and every shoulder hath the hair plucked off: and there hath been no reward rendered him, nor his army concerning Tyre, for the service that he served me against it.📜💬📚
19 Therefore thus saith our Lord God: Behold I will give Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon in the land of AEgypt: & he shall take the multitude thereof, and take the booties thereof for a prey, and rifle the spoils thereof: & it shall be a reward for his army,📜💬📚
20 and for the work, that he served me against it: I have given him the land of AEgypt, for that they have laboured for me, saith our Lord God.📜💬📚
21 In that day there shall a horn spring to the house of Israel, & I will give thee an open mouth in the midst of them: and they shall know that I am the Lord.📜💬📚
