CHAPTER 30 Judgment against Egypt and Her Allies

1 And [³came ¹the word ²of the lord] to me, saying, 2 O son of man, Prophesy and say! Thus says Adonai the lord; Oh, Oh the day; 3 for [⁴is near ¹the ²day ³of the lord], even [³approaches ¹the day ²of the lord]. [²a day ³of cloud ⁴and ⁵a time ⁶of nations ¹It will be]. 4 And [²shall come ¹a sword] against the Egyptians, and there will be a disturbance in the land of Ethiopia, and they shall fall being slain in Egypt, and they shall take her abundance, and [²shall be cast down ¹her foundations]. 5 Persians, and Cretans and Lydians, and Libyans, and Ethiopians, and all the intermixed peoples, and of the sons of my covenant [²by the sword ¹shall fall] with them. 6 Thus says Adonai the lord; And [⁴shall fall ¹the ²supports ³of Egypt], and [⁴shall go down ¹the ²insolence ³of her strength] from Migdol unto Syene; [²by the sword ¹they shall fall] in her, says Adonai the lord. 7 And it shall be made desolate in the midst of places being obliterated; and her cities [²in ³the midst ⁴of cities ⁵being made desolate ¹will be]. 8 And they shall know that I am the lord, whenever I shall appoint fire against Egypt, and [⁵shall be broken ¹all ²the ones ³helping ⁴her]. 9 In that day shall come forth messengers hastening to obliterate the hope of Ethiopia; and there will be a disturbance among them in the day of Egypt; for behold, it is come. 10 Thus says Adonai the lord; And I will destroy the multitude of the Egyptians by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; 11 he and his people with him, the pestilent ones from nations being sent to destroy the land. And they shall all empty out their swords against Egypt, and shall fill the land with slain. 12 And I will make their rivers desolate. And I will render the land by the hand of evil ones; and I will obliterate the land, and its fullness, by the hands of strangers. I the lord have spoken. 13 For thus says the lord God; And I will destroy the abominations, and I will rest the great ones from Memphis, and the rulers from the land of Egypt, and they will not be any longer. And I will put fear in the land of Egypt. 14 And I will destroy the land of Pathros, and I will put fire upon Tanis, and I will execute punishment in Diospolis. 15 And I will pour out my rage upon Sin, the strength of Egypt. And I will destroy the multitude of Memphis. 16 And I will appoint fire unto Egypt. And [³with a disturbance ²shall be disturbed ¹Sin]. And in Diospolis there will be inundation, and [²shall be dispersed ¹waters]. 17 Young men of Heliopolis and Bubastum [²by ³the sword ¹shall fall], and the women [²into ³captivity ¹shall go]. 18 And in Tehaphnehes [³shall darken ¹the ²day] in my breaking there the chiefdoms of Egypt. And [⁴shall perish ⁵there ¹the ²insolence ³of her strength]. And [³her ¹a cloud ²shall cover], and her daughters [²captives ¹shall be led]. 19 And I will execute judgment on Egypt. And they shall know that I am the lord.

A Proclamation against Pharaoh

20 And it took place in the eleventh year, in the first month, the seventh of the month, [³came ¹the word ²of the lord] to me, saying, 21 O son of man, [²the ³arms ⁴of Pharaoh ⁵king ⁶of Egypt ¹I broke]; and behold, it was not earnestly beseeched to give to him healing, to put upon him a dressing, to be given strength to take hold of the sword. 22 On account of this, thus says Adonai the lord; Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and I will break his arms, the strong, and the ones being broken; and I will throw down his sword from out of his hand. 23 And I will scatter Egypt into the nations, and I will winnow them into the places. 24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and I will put my broadsword into his hand. And he shall bring it upon Egypt, and he shall plunder her plunder, and he shall despoil her spoils. 25 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall; and they shall know that I am the lord, in [²putting ³the ⁴broadsword ¹my] into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it against the land of Egypt. 26 And I will scatter Egypt into the nations, and I shall winnow them into the places; and they shall know that I am the lord.
