  • 1 A Prophecy Against Egypt Judgment on Pharaoh In the tenth year, in the tenth month on the twelfth day, the word of the Lord came to me:
  • 2 “Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.
  • 3 Speak to him and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: “ ‘I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, you great monster lying among your streams. You say, “The Nile belongs to me; I made it for myself.”
  • 4 But I will put hooks in your jaws and make the fish of your streams stick to your scales. I will pull you out from among your streams, with all the fish sticking to your scales.
  • 5 I will leave you in the desert, you and all the fish of your streams. You will fall on the open field and not be gathered or picked up. I will give you as food to the beasts of the earth and the birds of the sky.
  • 6 Then all who live in Egypt will know that I am the Lord. “ ‘You have been a staff of reed for the people of Israel.
  • 7 When they grasped you with their hands, you splintered and you tore open their shoulders; when they leaned on you, you broke and their backs were wrenched. 29:7 Syriac (see also Septuagint and Vulgate); Hebrew and you caused their backs to stand
  • 8 “ ‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will bring a sword against you and kill both man and beast.
  • 9 Egypt will become a desolate wasteland. Then they will know that I am the Lord. “ ‘Because you said, “The Nile is mine; I made it,”
  • 10 therefore I am against you and against your streams, and I will make the land of Egypt a ruin and a desolate waste from Migdol to Aswan, as far as the border of Cush. 29:10 That is, the upper Nile region
  • 11 The foot of neither man nor beast will pass through it; no one will live there for forty years.
  • 12 I will make the land of Egypt desolate among devastated lands, and her cities will lie desolate forty years among ruined cities. And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them through the countries.
  • 13 “ ‘Yet this is what the Sovereign Lord says: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations where they were scattered.
  • 14 I will bring them back from captivity and return them to Upper Egypt, the land of their ancestry. There they will be a lowly kingdom.
  • 15 It will be the lowliest of kingdoms and will never again exalt itself above the other nations. I will make it so weak that it will never again rule over the nations.
  • 16 Egypt will no longer be a source of confidence for the people of Israel but will be a reminder of their sin in turning to her for help. Then they will know that I am the Sovereign Lord.’ ” Nebuchadnezzar’s Reward
  • 17 In the twenty-seventh year, in the first month on the first day, the word of the Lord came to me:
  • 18 “Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon drove his army in a hard campaign against Tyre; every head was rubbed bare and every shoulder made raw. Yet he and his army got no reward from the campaign he led against Tyre.
  • 19 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am going to give Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will carry off its wealth. He will loot and plunder the land as pay for his army.
  • 20 I have given him Egypt as a reward for his efforts because he and his army did it for me, declares the Sovereign Lord.
  • 21 “On that day I will make a horn 29:21 Horn here symbolizes strength. grow for the Israelites, and I will open your mouth among them. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
