1 In the tenth year, in the tenth [month], in the twelfth [day] of the month, the word of the LORD [Yahweh] came to me, saying,
2 Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt:
3 Speak, and say, Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lies in the midst of his rivers, which has said, My river [is] my own, and I have made [it] for myself.
4 But I will put hooks in your jaws, and I will cause the fish of your rivers to stick to your scales, and I will bring you up out of the midst of your rivers, and all the fish of your rivers will stick to your scales.
5 And I will leave you [thrown] into the wilderness, you and all the fish of your rivers: you will fall upon the open fields; you will not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given you for meat to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven.
6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I [am] the LORD [Yahweh], because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
7 When they took hold of you by your hand, you broke, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon you, you broke, and made all their loins to be at a stand.
8 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a sword upon you, and cut off man and beast out of you.
9 And the land of Egypt will be desolate and waste; and they will know that I [am] the LORD [Yahweh]: because he has said, The river [is]my,and I have made [it].
10 Behold, therefore I [am] against you, and against your rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste [and] desolate, from the tower of Syene even to the border of Ethiopia.
11 No foot of man will pass through it, nor foot of beast will pass through it, neither will it be inhabited forty years.
12 And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries [that are] desolate, and her cities among the cities [that are] laid waste will be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
13 Yet thus says the Lord GOD; At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people where they were scattered:
14 And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return [into] the land of Pathros, into the land of their habitation; and they will be there a base kingdom.
15 It will be the basest of the kingdoms; neither will it exalt itself any more above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they will no more rule over the nations.
16 And it will be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, which brings [their] iniquity to remembrance, when they will look after them: but they will know that I [am] the Lord GOD.
17 And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first [month], in the first [day] of the month, the word of the LORD [Yahweh] came to me, saying,
18 Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head [was] made bald, and every shoulder [was] peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served against it:
19 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he will take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it will be the wages for his army.
20 I have given him the land of Egypt [for] his labour with which he served against it, because they wrought for me, says the Lord GOD.
21 In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth, and I will give you the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and they will know that I [am] the LORD [Yahweh].
