In the tenth{H6224} year,{H8141} in the tenth{H6224} [month], in the twelfth{H8147} [day] of the month,{H2320} the word{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} came unto me, saying,{H559}

Son{H1121} of man,{H120} set{H7760} thy face{H6440} against Pharaoh{H6547} king{H4428} of Egypt,{H4714} and prophesy{H5012} against him, and against all Egypt;{H4714}

speak,{H1696} and say,{H559} Thus saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah:{H3069} Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh{H6547} king{H4428} of Egypt,{H4714} the great{H1419} monster{H8577} that lieth{H7257} in the midst{H8432} of his rivers,{H2975} that hath said,{H559} My river{H2975} is mine own, and I have made{H6213} it for myself.

And 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{H8432} of thy rivers,{H2975} with all the fish{H1710} of thy rivers{H2975} which stick{H1692} unto thy scales.{H7193}

And I will cast{H5203} thee forth into the wilderness,{H4057} thee and all the fish{H1710} of thy rivers:{H2975} thou shalt fall{H5307} upon the open{H6440} field;{H7704} thou shalt not be brought together,{H622} nor gathered;{H6908} I have given{H5414} thee for food{H402} to the beasts{H2416} of the earth{H776} and to the birds{H5775} of the heavens.{H8064}

And all the inhabitants{H3427} of Egypt{H4714} shall know{H3045} that I am Jehovah,{H3068} because they have been a staff{H4938} of reed{H7070} to the house{H1004} of Israel.{H3478}

When they took hold{H8610} of thee by thy hand,{H3709} thou didst break,{H7533} and didst rend{H1234} all their shoulders;{H3802} and when they leaned{H8172} upon thee, thou brakest,{H7665} and madest all their loins{H4975} to be at a stand.{H5976}

Therefore thus saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah:{H3069} Behold, I will bring{H935} a sword{H2719} upon thee, and will cut off{H3772} from thee man{H120} and beast.{H929}

And the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714} shall be a desolation{H8077} and a waste;{H2723} and they shall know{H3045} that I am Jehovah.{H3068} Because he hath said,{H559} The river{H2975} is mine, and I have made{H6213} it;

therefore, behold, I am against thee, and against thy rivers,{H2975} and I will make{H5414} the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714} an utter{H2721} waste{H2723} and desolation,{H8077} from the tower{H4024} of Seveneh{H5482} even unto the border{H1366} of Ethiopia.{H3568}

No foot{H7272} of man{H120} shall pass through{H5674} it, nor foot{H7272} of beast{H929} shall pass through{H5674} it, neither shall it be inhabited{H3427} forty{H705} years.{H8141}

And I will make{H5414} the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714} a desolation{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 a desolation{H8077} forty{H705} years;{H8141} and I will scatter{H6327} the Egyptians{H4714} among the nations,{H1471} and will disperse{H2219} them through the countries.{H776}

For thus saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah:{H3069} At the end{H7093} of forty{H705} years{H8141} will I gather{H6908} the Egyptians{H4714} from the peoples{H5971} whither they were scattered;{H6327}

and I will bring back{H7725} the captivity{H7622} of Egypt,{H4714} and will cause them to return{H7725} into the land{H776} of Pathros,{H6624} into the land{H776} of their birth;{H4351} and they shall be there a base{H8217} kingdom.{H4467}

It shall be the basest{H8217} of the kingdoms;{H4467} neither shall it any more lift itself up above{H5375} the nations:{H1471} and I will diminish{H4591} them, that they shall no more rule{H7287} over the nations.{H1471}

And it shall be no more the confidence{H4009} of the house{H1004} of Israel,{H3478} bringing{H2142} iniquity{H5771} to remembrance,{H2142} when they turn to look{H6437} after{H310} them: and they shall know{H3045} that I am the Lord{H136} Jehovah.{H3069}

And it came to pass 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 Jehovah{H3068} came unto me, saying,{H559}

Son{H1121} of man,{H120} Nebuchadrezzar{H5019} king{H4428} of Babylon{H894} caused{H5647} his army{H2428} to serve{H5647} a great{H1419} service{H5656} against Tyre:{H6865} every head{H7218} was made bald,{H7139} and every shoulder{H3802} was worn;{H4803} yet had he no wages,{H7939} nor his army,{H2428} from Tyre,{H6865} for the service{H5656} that he had served{H5647} against it.

Therefore thus saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah:{H136} Behold, I will give{H5414} the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714} unto Nebuchadrezzar{H5019} king{H4428} of Babylon;{H894} and he shall carry{H5375} off her multitude,{H1995} and take{H5375} her spoil,{H7998} and take{H7997} her prey;{H957} and it shall be the wages{H7939} for his army.{H2428}

I have given{H5414} him the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714} as his recompense{H6468} for which he served,{H5647} because they wrought{H6213} for me, saith{H5002} the Lord{H136} Jehovah.{H3069}

In that day{H3117} will I cause{H6779} a horn{H7161} to bud forth{H6779} unto the house{H1004} of Israel,{H3478} 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 I am Jehovah.{H3068}
