Ezekiel 30:1-8

Listen to Ezekiel 30:1-8
1 La parole de l'Eternel me fut adressée, en ces mots:
2 Fils de l'homme, prophétise, et dis: Ainsi parle le Seigneur, l'Eternel: Gémissez!... Malheureux jour!
3 Car le jour approche, le jour de l'Eternel approche, Jour ténébreux: ce sera le temps des nations.
4 L'épée fondra sur l'Egypte, Et l'épouvante sera dans l'Ethiopie, Quand les morts tomberont en Egypte, Quand on enlèvera ses richesses, Et que ses fondements seront renversés.
5 L'Ethiopie, Puth, Lud, toute l'Arabie, Cub, Et les fils du pays allié, Tomberont avec eux par l'épée.
6 Ainsi parle l'Eternel: Ils tomberont, les soutiens de l'Egypte, Et l'orgueil de sa force périra; De Migdol à Syène ils tomberont par l'épée, Dit le Seigneur, l'Eternel.
7 Ils seront dévastés entre les pays dévastés, Et ses villes seront entre les villes désertes.
8 Et ils sauront que je suis l'Eternel, Quand je mettrai le feu dans l'Egypte, Et que tous ses soutiens seront brisés.

This chapter is a continuation of the prophecy against Egypt, both against the country and the king of it.

Nebuchadnezzar and his army were to be the instruments of her ruin, Eze 30:10-12, particular cities are mentioned by name, which should suffer much, and become desolate, Eze 30:13-19 and then Pharaoh king of Egypt himself is threatened with broken arms, and his people to be scattered among the nations, Eze 30:20-23, and the king of Babylon is again mentioned, whose arms should be strengthened to do all this, Eze 30:24-26.
