1 The Lordspoke to me again. 2 "Mortal man," he said, "prophesy and announce what I, the Sovereign Lord, am saying. You are to shout these words:
A day of terror is coming!
3 The day is near, the day when the Lordwill act,
A day of clouds and trouble for the nations.
4 There will be war in Egypt
And great distress in Ethiopia.30.4: Hebrew Cushite (Cush): Cush is the ancient name of the extensive territory south of the First Cataract of the Nile River. This region was called Ethiopia in Graeco-Roman times, and included within its borders most of modern Sudan and some of present-day Ethiopia (Abyssinia).
Many in Egyptwill be killed;
The country will be plundered
And left in ruins.
5 "That war will also kill the soldiers hired from Ethiopia,30.5: Hebrew Cushite (Cush): Cush is the ancient name of the extensive territory south of the First Cataract of the Nile River. This region was called Ethiopia in Graeco-Roman times, and included within its borders most of modern Sudan and some of present-day Ethiopia (Abyssinia).Libya, Lydia, Arabia, Kub, and even from among my own people."
6 The Lordsays, "From Migdolin the north to Aswanin the south, all Egypt’s defenders will be killed in battle. Egypt’s proud army will be destroyed. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken. 7 The land will be the most desolate in the world, and its cities will be left totally in ruins. 8 When I set fire to Egyptand all her defenders are killed, then they will know that I am the Lord.
9 "When that day comes and Egyptis destroyed, I will send messengers in ships to arouse the unsuspecting people of Ethiopia,30.9: Hebrew Cushite (Cush): Cush is the ancient name of the extensive territory south of the First Cataract of the Nile River. This region was called Ethiopia in Graeco-Roman times, and included within its borders most of modern Sudan and some of present-day Ethiopia (Abyssinia).and they will be terrified. That day is coming!"
10 The Sovereign Lordsays, "I will use King Nebuchadnezzar of Babyloniato put an end to Egypt’s wealth. 11 He and his ruthless army will come to devastate the land. They will attack Egyptwith swords, and the land will be full of corpses. 12 I will dry up the Nileand put Egyptunder the power of evil people. Foreigners will devastate the whole country. I, the Lord, have spoken."
13 The Sovereign Lordsays, "I will destroy the idols and the false gods in Memphis. There will be no one to rule Egypt, and I will terrify all the people. 14 I will make southern Egyptdesolate and set fire to the city of Zoanin the north. I will punish the capital city of Thebes. 15 I will let the city of Pelusium, Egypt’s great fortress, feel my fury. I will destroy the wealth of Thebes. 16 I will set fire to Egypt, and Pelusiumwill be in agony. The walls of Thebeswill be broken down, and the city will be flooded.30.16: One ancient translation flooded; Hebrew unclear.17 The young men of the cities of Heliopolisand Bubastiswill die in the war, and the other people will be taken prisoner. 18 Darkness will fall on Tahpanheswhen I break the power of Egyptand put an end to the strength they were so proud of. A cloud will cover Egypt, and the people of all her cities will be taken prisoner. 19 When I punish Egyptin this way, they will know that I am the Lord."
The Broken Power of the King of Egypt
20 On the seventh day of the first month of the eleventh year of our exile, the Lordspoke to me. 21 "Mortal man," he said, "I have broken the arm of the king of Egypt. No one has bandaged it or put it in a sling so that it could heal and be strong enough to hold a sword again. 22 Now then, this is what I, the Sovereign Lord, say: I am the enemy of the king of Egypt. I am going to break both his arms—the good one and the one already broken—and the sword will fall from his hand. 23 I am going to scatter the Egyptiansthroughout the world. 24 Then I will make the arms of the king of Babyloniastrong and put my sword in his hands. But I will break the arms of the king of Egypt, and he will groan and die in front of his enemy. 25 Yes, I will weaken him and strengthen the king of Babylonia. When I give him my sword and he points it toward Egypt, everyone will know that I am the Lord. 26 I will scatter the Egyptiansthroughout the world. Then they will know that I am the Lord."
