1	The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying# ,
			2	Son of man, prophesy# and say# , Thus saith# the Lord GOD; Howl# ye, Woe worth the day!
			3	For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen.
			4	And the sword shall come# upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall# in Egypt, and they shall take away# her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down# . [pain: or, fear]
			5	Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall# with them by the sword. [Libya: Heb. Phut] [men: Heb. children]
			6	Thus saith# the LORD; They also that uphold# Egypt shall fall# ; and the pride of her power shall come down# : from the tower of Syene shall they fall# in it by the sword, saith# the Lord GOD. [from...: or, from Migdol to Syene]
			7	And they shall be desolate# in the midst of the countries that are desolate# , and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted# .
			8	And they shall know# that I am the LORD, when I have set# a fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers# shall be destroyed# . [destroyed: Heb. broken]
			9	In that day shall messengers go forth# from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid# , and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh# .
			10	Thus saith# the Lord GOD; I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease# by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.
			11	He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought# to destroy# the land: and they shall draw# their swords against Egypt, and fill# the land with the slain.
			12	And I will make# the rivers dry, and sell# the land into the hand of the wicked: and I will make the land waste# , and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers# : I the LORD have spoken# it . [dry: Heb. drought] [all...: Heb. the fulness thereof]
			13	Thus saith# the Lord GOD; I will also destroy# the idols, and I will cause their images to cease# out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt: and I will put# a fear in the land of Egypt.
			14	And I will make Pathros desolate# , and will set# fire in Zoan, and will execute# judgments in No. [Zoan: or, Tanis]
			15	And I will pour# my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off# the multitude of No. [Sin: or, Pelusium]
			16	And I will set# fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great# pain# , and No shall be rent asunder# , and Noph shall have distresses daily.
			17	The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall# by the sword: and these cities shall go# into captivity. [Aven: or, Heliopolis] [Pibeseth: or, Pubastum]
			18	At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened# # # # , when I shall break# there the yokes of Egypt: and the pomp of her strength shall cease# in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover# her, and her daughters shall go# into captivity. [darkened: or, restrained]
			19	Thus will I execute# judgments in Egypt: and they shall know# that I am the LORD.
			20	And it came to pass in the eleventh# year, in the first month , in the seventh day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying# ,
			21	Son of man, I have broken# the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up# to be healed# # , to put# a roller to bind# it, to make it strong# to hold# the sword.
			22	Therefore thus saith# the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break# his arms, the strong, and that which was broken# ; and I will cause the sword to fall# out of his hand.
			23	And I will scatter# the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse# them through the countries.
			24	And I will strengthen# the arms of the king of Babylon, and put# my sword in his hand: but I will break# Pharaoh's arms, and he shall groan# before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man .
			25	But I will strengthen# the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down# ; and they shall know# that I am the LORD, when I shall put# my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out# upon the land of Egypt.
			26	And I will scatter# the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse# them among the countries; and they shall know# that I am the LORD.
