1 The word of the LORD came again to me saying, 2 "Son of man, prophesy and say, 'Thus says the Lord aGOD, "1Wail, 'Alas for the day !' 3 "For the day is near, Even 2the day of the LORD is near ; It will be a day of 3clouds, A time of doom for the nations. 4 "A sword will come upon Egypt, And anguish will be in bEthiopia ; When the slain fall in Egypt, They 4take away her cwealth, And her foundations are torn down. 5 "dEthiopia, Put, Lud, all e5Arabia, fLibya and the gpeople of the land hthat is in league will fall with them by the sword." 6 'Thus says the LORD, "Indeed, those who support 6Egypt will fall And the pride of her power will come down ; From Migdol to Syene They will fall within her by the sword," Declares the Lord GOD. 7 "They will be desolate In the 7midst of the desolated lands ; And her cities will be In the midst of the devastated cities. 8 "And they will 8know that I am the LORD, When I set a 9fire in Egypt And all her helpers are broken. 9 "On that day 10messengers will go forth from Me in ships to frighten 11secure iEthiopia ; and 12anguish will be on them as on the day of Egypt ; for behold, it comes !" 10 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "13I will also make the jhordes of Egypt cease By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. 11 "He and his people with him, 14The most ruthless of the nations, Will be brought in to destroy the land ; And they will draw their swords against Egypt And fill the land with the slain. 12 "Moreover, I will make the 15Nile canals dry And 16sell the land into the hands of evil men. And I will make the land desolate And kall that is in it, By the hand of strangers ; I the LORD have spoken." 13 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "I will also 17destroy the idols And make the limages cease from m18Memphis. And there will no longer be a prince in the land of Egypt ; And I will put fear in the land of Egypt. 14 "I will make 19Pathros desolate, Set a fire in 20Zoan And execute judgments on n21Thebes. 15 "I will pour out My wrath on oSin, The stronghold of Egypt ; I will also cut off the hordes of pThebes. 16 "I will set a fire in Egypt ; qSin will writhe in anguish, rThebes will be breached And sMemphis will have tdistresses daily. 17 "The young men of u22On and of Pi-beseth Will fall by the sword, And vthe women will go into captivity. 18 "In 23Tehaphnehes the day will wbe 24dark When I 25break there the yoke bars of Egypt. Then the pride of her power will cease in her; A cloud will cover her, And her daughters will go into captivity. 19 "Thus I will 26execute judgments on Egypt, And they will know that I am the LORD.""'New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, California.
