  • Jer 46:13-26 : 13 This is the word that the Lord spoke to Jeremiah the prophet about Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, coming to strike the land of Egypt. 14 Announce it in Egypt, proclaim it in Migdol; proclaim it also in Memphis and Tahpanhes: 'Take your positions and prepare yourself, for the sword has devoured those around you.' 15 Why has your strong one been swept away? He did not stand because the Lord drove him away. 16 He caused many to stumble; they fell one upon another. They said, 'Get up! Let us return to our own people and our homeland, away from the oppressing sword.' 17 'Pharaoh, king of Egypt, is nothing but noise; he has missed his opportunity,' they said. 18 As surely as I live, declares the King, whose name is the Lord of Hosts, one will come like Tabor among the mountains, like Carmel by the sea. 19 Prepare your belongings for exile, you who live in Egypt, for Memphis will become a desolation, a ruin without inhabitants. 20 Egypt is a beautiful heifer, but a stinging gadfly from the north is coming against her. 21 Even her mercenaries in her midst are like fattened calves; they too will turn and flee together. They cannot stand, for the day of their calamity has come upon them, the time of their punishment. 22 Her voice will hiss like a serpent as they advance in force; with axes they come against her, like those who cut down trees. 23 They will cut down her forest, declares the Lord, though it is dense. They are more numerous than locusts; they cannot be counted. 24 The Daughter of Egypt will be put to shame; she will be handed over to people from the north. 25 The Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: 'See, I am about to punish Amon of Thebes, Pharaoh, Egypt, her gods, her kings, Pharaoh, and those who trust in him.' 26 I will hand them over to those who want to take their lives, to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and his servants. But afterward, Egypt will be inhabited again as in ancient days,' declares the Lord.

  • Ezek 29:1-9 : 1 In the tenth year, on the twelfth day of the tenth month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying: 2 Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and all Egypt. 3 Speak and say, 'This is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monster lying in the midst of his rivers, who says, ‘The Nile is mine; I made it for myself.’ 4 I will put hooks in your jaws, and make the fish of your rivers cling to your scales. I will pull you up from among your rivers, and all the fish of your rivers will cling to your scales. 5 I will leave you in the desert—you and all the fish of your rivers. You will fall on the open fields, and you will not be gathered or buried. I have given you as food to the beasts of the earth and the birds of the heavens. 6 Then all the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel. 7 When they grasped you with their hands, you splintered and tore all their shoulders; and when they leaned on you, you broke, making their backs give way. 8 Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am bringing a sword against you, and I will cut off both man and beast from among you. 9 The land of Egypt will become a desolate waste. Then they will know that I am the LORD. Because he said, 'The Nile is mine; I made it,' 10 therefore, I am against you and your rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt a ruin and a waste from Migdol to Syene, as far as the border of Cush. 11 No foot of man or beast will pass through it; it will be uninhabited for forty years. 12 I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of desolate lands, and her cities will be among ruined cities—a desolation for forty years. I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them through the lands. 13 For this is what the Lord GOD 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 bring them back to the land of Pathros, the land of their origin. There they will be a lowly kingdom. 15 It will be the lowliest of kingdoms and will never again exalt itself above the nations. I will diminish them so that they will not rule over the nations anymore. 16 It will no longer be a source of confidence for the house of Israel, bringing their guilt to mind when they turn to Egypt for help. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD. 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, saying: 18 Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made his army labor hard against Tyre; every head was rubbed bare and every shoulder made raw. But neither he nor his army received wages from Tyre for the labor he had performed against it. 19 Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. He will carry off her wealth, her plunder, and her loot as wages for his army. 20 As payment for the labor he performed, I have given him the land of Egypt, because they worked for me, declares the Lord GOD. 21 On that day I will cause a horn to sprout for the house of Israel, and I will open your mouth among them. Then they will know that I am the LORD.
