The desolation of Egypt and her helpers.

1 ¶ The wordº of the LORDº came² again unto² me, saying,ºª 2 Sonº of man,º prophesyºª and say,ºª Thus² saithºª the Lordº GOD;º Howlºª ye, Woe² worth¹ the day!º 3 For² the dayº [is] near,º even the dayº of the LORDº [is] near,º a cloudyº day;º it shall be² the timeº of the heathen.º 4 And the swordº shall comeºª upon Egypt,º and great painº shall be² in Ethiopia,º when the slainº shall fallºª in Egypt,º and they shall take awayºª her multitude,º and her foundationsº shall be broken down.ºª 5 Ethiopia,º and Libya,º and Lydia,º and all² the mingled¹ people,² and Chub,º and the menº of the landº that is in league,º shall fallºª with² them by the sword.º 6 Thus² saithºª the LORD;º They also that upholdºª Egyptº shall fall;ºª and the prideº of her powerº shall come down:ºª from the towerº² of Syeneº shall they fallºª in it by the sword,º saithºª the Lordº GOD.º 7 And they shall be desolateºª in the midstº of the countriesº [that are] desolate,ºª and her citiesº shall be² in the midstº of the citiesº [that are] wasted.ºª 8 And they shall knowºª that² I² [am] the LORD,º when I have setºª a fireº in Egypt,º and [when] all² her helpersºª shall be destroyed.ºª 9 In that² dayº shall messengersº go forthºª from²² me¹ in shipsº to make² the carelessº Ethiopiansº afraid,ºª and great painº shall come² upon them, as in the dayº of Egypt:º for,² lo,² it cometh.ºª 10 Thus² saithºª the Lordº GOD;º I will also make² the multitudeº of Egyptº to ceaseºª by the handº of Nebuchadrezzarº kingº of Babylon.º 11 He² and his peopleº with² him, the terribleº of the nations,º shall be broughtºª to destroyºª the land:º and they shall drawºª their swordsº against² Egypt,º and fillºª² the landº with the slain.º 12 And I will makeºª the riversº dry,º and sellºª² the landº into the handº of the wicked:º and I will make the land¹ waste,ºª² and all that is therein,º by the handº of strangers:ºª I² the LORDº have spokenºª [it]. 13 Thus² saithºª the Lordº GOD;º I will also destroyºª the idols,º and I will cause [their] imagesº to ceaseºª out of Noph;º² and there shall be² no² more² a princeº of the landº² of Egypt:º and I will putºª a fearº in the landº of Egypt.º 14 And I will make Pathros¹ desolate,ºª²² and will setºª fireº in Zoan,º and will executeºª judgmentsº in No.º 15 And I will pourºª my furyº upon² Sin,º the strengthº of Egypt;º and I will cut offºª² the multitudeº of No.º 16 And I will setºª fireº in Egypt:º Sinº shall have great¹ª pain,ºª and Noº shall be² rent asunder,ºª and Nophº [shall have] distressesº daily.º 17 The young menº of Aven¹² and of Pibesethº shall fallºª by the sword:º and these² [cities] shall go¹ª² into captivity.º 18 At Tehaphnehesº also the dayº shall be darkened,ºª¹ª when I shall breakºª there²² the yokesº of Egypt:º and the pompº of her strengthº shall ceaseºª in her:¹ as for her,² a cloudº shall coverºª her, and her daughtersº shall go¹ª² into captivity.º 19 Thus will I executeºª judgmentsº in Egypt:º and they shall knowºª that² I² [am] the LORD.º
