1 The word of the LORD [Yahweh] came again to me, saying,
2 Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus says the Lord GOD; Howl you, Woe worth the day!

4 And the sword will come upon Egypt, and great pain will be in Ethiopia, when the slain will fall in Egypt, and they will take away her multitude, and her foundations will be broken down.

6 Thus says the LORD [Yahweh]; They also that uphold Egypt will fall; and the pride of her power will come down: from the tower of Syene will they fall in it by the sword, says the Lord GOD.
7 And they will be desolate in the midst of the countries [that are] desolate, and her cities will be in the midst of the cities [that are] wasted.
8 And they will know that I [am] the LORD [Yahweh], when I have set a fire in Egypt, and [when] all her helpers will be destroyed.
9 In that day will messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain will come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it comes.
10 Thus says the Lord GOD; I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.

15 And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.
16 And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin will have great pain, and No will be rent apart, and Noph [will have] distresses daily.
17 The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth will fall by the sword: and these [cities] will go into captivity.
18 At Tehaphnehes also the day will be darkened, when I will break there the yokes of Egypt: and the pomp of her strength will cease in her: as for her, a cloud will cover her, and her daughters will go into captivity.
19 Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt: and they will know that I [am] the LORD [Yahweh].
20 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first [month], in the seventh [day] of the month, [that] the word of the LORD [Yahweh] came to me, saying,
21 Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it will not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.
22 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
23 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaoh's arms, and he will groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded [man].
25 But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh will fall down; and they will know that I [am] the LORD [Yahweh], when I will put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.
26 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries; and they will know that I [am] the LORD [Yahweh].
