Chapter 29 In the 10th year in the 10th month on The 12th day of the month The word of the Lord came to me saying Son of man Set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt And prophesy against him and against all Egypt Speak and say thus says the Lord God Behold I am against you o Pharaoh king of Egypt O great monster who lies in the midst of His Rivers who has said my river is my Own I have made it for myself But I will put hooks in your jaws and Cause the fish of your rivers to stick To your scales I will bring you up out of the midst of Your Rivers and all the fish in your Rivers will stick to your scales I will leave you in the wilderness you And all the fish of your Rivers You shall fall on the open field You shall not be picked up or gathered I have given you as food to the beasts Of the field and to the birds of the Heavens Then 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 When they took hold of you with the hand You broke and tore all their shoulders
When they leaned on you you broke and Made all their backs quiver Therefore thus says the Lord God Surely I will bring a sword upon you and Cut off from you man and Beast And the land of Egypt shall become Desolate and waste then they will know That I am the Lord because he said the River is mine and I have made it Indeed therefore I am against you and Against your Rivers And I will make the land of Egypt Utterly waste and desolate from migdol To cyani as far as the border of Ethiopia Neither foot of man shall pass through It nor foot of Beast pass through it and It shall be uninhabited 40 years I will make the land of Egypt desolate In the midst of the countries that are Desolate And among the cities that are laid waste Her cities shall be desolate 40 years And I will scatter the Egyptians among The Nations and disperse them throughout The countries Yet thus says the Lord God At the end of 40 years I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples among whom They were scattered I will bring back the captives of Egypt And cause them to return to the land of Pathros to the land of their origin and There they shall be a lowly Kingdom
It shall be the lowliest of Kingdoms it Shall never again exalt itself above the Nations For I will diminish them so that they Will not rule over the Nations anymore No longer shall it be the confidence of The House of Israel But will remind them of their iniquity When they turned to follow them Then they shall know that I am the Lord God And it came to pass in the 27th year in The first month on the first day of the Month That the word of the Lord came to me Saying Son of man Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon caused His army to labor strenuously against Tire Every Head was made bold and every Shoulder rubbed raw Yet neither he nor his army received Wages from tire for the labor which they Expended on it Therefore thus says the Lord God Surely I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon He shall take away her wealth carry off Her spoil and remove her pillage And that will be the wages for his army I have given him the land of Egypt for His labor because they worked for me Says the Lord God
In that day I will cause the Horn of the House of Israel to Spring forth And I will open your mouth to speak in Their midst Then they shall know that I am the Lord
