Ezekiel 29:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me:
2 "Son of man, turn toward Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.
3 Tell them, 'This is what the sovereign LORD says: "'Look, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monster lying in the midst of its waterways, who has said, "My Nile is my own, I made it for myself."
4 I will put hooks in your jaws and stick the fish of your waterways to your scales. I will haul you up from the midst of your waterways, and all the fish of your waterways will stick to your scales.
5 I will leave you in the wilderness, you and all the fish of your waterways; you will fall in the open field and will not be gathered up or collected. I have given you as food to the beasts of the earth and the birds of the skies.
6 Then all those living in Egypt will know that I am the LORD because they were a reed staff for the house of Israel;
7 when they grasped you with their hand, you broke and tore their shoulders, and when they leaned on you, you splintered and caused their legs to be unsteady.
8 "'Therefore, this is what the sovereign LORD says: Look, I am about to bring a sword against you, and I will kill every person and every animal.
9 The land of Egypt will become a desolate ruin. Then they will know that I am the LORD. Because he said, "The Nile is mine and I made it,"
10 I am against you and your waterways. I will turn the land of Egypt into an utter desolate ruin from Migdol to Syene, as far as the border with Ethiopia.
11 No human foot will pass through it, and no animal's foot will pass through it; it will be uninhabited for forty years.
12 I will turn the land of Egypt into a desolation in the midst of desolate lands; for forty years her cities will lie desolate in the midst of ruined cities. I will scatter Egypt among the nations and disperse them among foreign countries.
13 "'For this is what the sovereign LORD says: At the end of forty years I will gather Egypt from the peoples where they were scattered.
14 I will restore the fortunes of Egypt, and will bring them back to the land of Pathros, to the land of their origin; there they will be an insignificant kingdom.
15 It will be the most insignificant of the kingdoms; it will never again exalt itself over the nations. I will make them so small that they will not rule over the nations.
16 It will never again be Israel's source of confidence, but a reminder of how they sinned by turning to Egypt for help. Then they will know that I am the sovereign LORD.'"
17 In the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me:
18 "Son of man, King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon made his army labor hard against Tyre. Every head was rubbed bald and every shoulder rubbed bare; yet he and his army received no wages from Tyre for the work he carried out against it.
19 Therefore this is what the sovereign LORD says: Look, I am about to give the land of Egypt to King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon. He will carry off her wealth, capture her loot, and seize her plunder; it will be his army's wages.
20 I have given him the land of Egypt as his compensation for attacking Tyre, because they did it for me, declares the sovereign LORD.
21 On that day I will make Israel powerful, and I will give you the right to be heard among them. Then they will know that I am the LORD."
1 In the tenth H6224 year, H8141 in the tenth H6224 month , in the twelfth H8147 H6240 day of the month, H2320 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying, H559
2 Son H1121 of man, H120 set H7760 thy face H6440 against H5921 Pharaoh H6547 king H4428 of Egypt, H4714 and prophesy H5012 against H5921 him , and against H5921 all H3605 Egypt: H4714
3 Speak H1696 , and say, H559 Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD; H3069 Behold, H2009 I am against H5921 thee, Pharaoh H6547 king H4428 of Egypt, H4714 the great H1419 dragon H8577 that lieth H7257 in the midst H8432 of his rivers, H2975 which H834 hath said, H559 My river H2975 is mine own , and I H589 have made H6213 it for myself.
4 But I will put H5414 hooks H2397 in thy jaws, H3895 and I will cause the fish H1710 of thy rivers H2975 to stick H1692 unto thy scales, H7193 and I will bring thee up H5927 out of the midst H4480 H8432 of thy rivers, H2975 and all H3605 the fish H1710 of thy rivers H2975 shall stick H1692 unto thy scales. H7193
5 And I will leave H5203 thee thrown into the wilderness, H4057 thee and all H3605 the fish H1710 of thy rivers: H2975 thou shalt fall H5307 upon H5921 the open H6440 fields; H7704 thou shalt not H3808 be brought together, H622 nor H3808 gathered: H6908 I have given H5414 thee for meat H402 to the beasts H2416 of the field H776 and to the fowls H5775 of the heaven. H8064
6 And all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of Egypt H4714 shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD, H3068 because H3282 they have been H1961 a staff H4938 of reed H7070 to the house H1004 of Israel. H3478
7 When they took hold H8610 of thee by thy hand, H3709 thou didst break, H7533 and rend H1234 all H3605 their shoulder: H3802 and when they leaned H8172 upon H5921 thee , thou didst broke, H7665 and madest all H3605 their loins H4975 to be at a stand. H5976
8 Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD; H3069 Behold, H2009 I will bring H935 a sword H2719 upon H5921 thee , and cut off H3772 man H120 and beast H929 out of H4480 thee.
9 And the land H776 of Egypt H4714 shall be H1961 desolate H8077 and waste; H2723 and they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD: H3068 because H3282 he hath said, H559 The river H2975 is mine , and I H589 have made H6213 it .
10 Behold H2009 , therefore H3651 I am against H413 thee , and against H413 thy rivers, H2975 and I will make H5414 H853 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 utterly waste H2723 H2721 and desolate, H8077 from the tower H4480 H4024 of Syene H5482 even unto H5704 the border H1366 of Ethiopia. H3568
11 No H3808 foot H7272 of man H120 shall pass H5674 through it, nor H3808 foot H7272 of beast H929 shall pass H5674 through it, neither H3808 shall it be inhabited H3427 forty H705 years. H8141
12 And I will make H5414 H853 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 desolate H8077 in the midst H8432 of the countries H776 that are desolate, H8074 and her cities H5892 among H8432 the cities H5892 that are laid waste H2717 shall be H1961 desolate H8077 forty H705 years: H8141 and I will scatter H6327 H853 the Egyptians H4714 among the nations, H1471 and will disperse H2219 them through the countries. H776
13 Yet H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD; H3069 At the end H4480 H7093 of forty H705 years H8141 will I gather H6908 H853 the Egyptians H4714 from H4480 the people H5971 whither H834 H8033 they were scattered: H6327
14 And I will bring again H7725 H853 the captivity H7622 of Egypt, H4714 and will cause them to return H7725 into the land H776 of Pathros, H6624 into H5921 the land H776 of their habitation; H4351 and they shall be H1961 there H8033 a base H8217 kingdom. H4467
15 It shall be H1961 the basest H8217 of H4480 the kingdoms; H4467 neither H3808 shall it exalt itself H5375 any more H5750 above H5921 the nations: H1471 for I will diminish H4591 them , that they shall no more H1115 rule H7287 over the nations. H1471
16 And it shall be H1961 no H3808 more H5750 the confidence H4009 of the house H1004 of Israel, H3478 which bringeth their iniquity to remembrance H2142 H5771 , when they shall look H6437 after H310 them : but they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the Lord H136 GOD. H3069
17 And it came to pass H1961 in the seven H7651 and twentieth H6242 year, H8141 in the first H7223 month , in the first H259 day of the month, H2320 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying, H559
18 Son H1121 of man, H120 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 caused H853 his army H2428 to serve H5647 a great H1419 service H5656 against H413 Tyrus: H6865 every H3605 head H7218 was made bald, H7139 and every H3605 shoulder H3802 was peeled: H4803 yet had H1961 he no H3808 wages, H7939 nor his army, H2428 for Tyrus H4480 H6865 , for H5921 the service H5656 that H834 he had served H5647 against H5921 it:
19 Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD; H3069 Behold, H2009 I will give H5414 H853 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 unto Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon; H894 and he shall take H5375 her multitude, H1995 and take H7997 her spoil, H7998 and take H962 her prey; H957 and it shall be H1961 the wages H7939 for his army. H2428
20 I have given H5414 him H853 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 for his labor H6468 wherewith H834 he served H5647 against it, because H834 they wrought H6213 for me, saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD. H3069
21 In that H1931 day H3117 will I cause the horn H7161 of the house H1004 of Israel H3478 to bud forth, H6779 and I will give H5414 thee the opening H6610 of the mouth H6310 in the midst H8432 of them ; and they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD. H3068
