What a day
And the LORD spoke to me: Son of man, prophesy and say: This is what the Lord GOD says. Howl — what a day. Because the day is close, the day of the LORD is close, a cloudy day. It'll be the time of the nations. And the sword will come on Egypt, and there'll be great anguish in Ethiopia when people fall dead in Egypt. They'll carry off her crowds, and her foundations will be torn down. Ethiopia, Libya, Lydia, all the mingled people, Chub and the men of the land that is in league will fall with them by the sword. This is what the LORD says: Those who uphold Egypt will also fall, and the pride of her power will come down. From the tower of Syene they will fall in it by the sword, says the Lord GOD. And they'll be a desolation in the middle of destroyed countries, and her cities will be in the middle of cities that are laid waste. And they'll know that I'm the LORD, when I've lit a fire in Egypt and everyone helping her is broken. On that day messengers will go out from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain will come upon them as in the day of Egypt. Look: it is coming. This is what the Lord GOD says: I'll make the crowd of Egypt stop, by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon. He and his people with him, the most brutal of the nations, will be brought in to destroy the land. They'll draw their swords against Egypt and fill the land with bodies. And I'll dry up the rivers and sell the land into the hand of the wicked. And I'll make the land and everything in it a waste, by the hand of strangers. I the LORD have spoken it. This is what the Lord GOD says: I'll destroy the idols too and make the empty gods stop at Memphis. And there won't be a prince out of the land of Egypt any more, and I'll put fear in the land of Egypt. And I'll make Pathros a desolation and light a fire in Zoan, and I'll do judgments in Thebes. And I'll pour out my fury on Pelusium, the strength of Egypt, and I'll cut off the crowd of Thebes. And I'll light a fire in Egypt. Pelusium will be in great pain and Thebes will be split open and Memphis will have troubles every day. The young men of Aven and Pibeseth will fall by the sword, and these cities will go into captivity. At Tehaphnehes the day will be darkened when I break the yokes of Egypt there and the pomp of her strength comes to an end. A cloud will cover her, and her daughters will go into captivity. That's how I'll do judgments in Egypt. And they'll know that I'm the LORD.
And the word of the Lord came to me: Son of man, prophesy and say: This is what the Lord God says. Howl — what a day. Because the day is close, the day of the Lord is close, a cloudy day. It'll be the time of the nations. And the sword will come on Egypt, and there'll be great pain in Cush when the killed fall in Egypt. And they'll take her crowd away, and her foundations will be broken down. Cush and Put and Lud and all the mixed crowd and Kub and the men of the land in the covenant will fall with them by the sword. This is what the Lord says: The ones holding Egypt up will fall too, and the pride of her strength will come down. They'll fall in her by the sword from Migdol to Aswan, says the Lord God. And they'll be a wreck in the middle of wrecked countries, and her towns will be in the middle of towns that are laid waste. And they'll know that I'm the Lord, when I've lit a fire in Egypt and everyone helping her is broken. On that day messengers will go out from me in ships to frighten careless Cush, and there'll be great pain on them like the day of Egypt. Because look — it's coming. This is what the Lord God says: I'll make the crowd of Egypt stop, by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. He and his people with him, the most brutal of the nations, will be brought in to wreck the land. And they'll pull out their swords against Egypt and fill the land with the killed. And I'll dry up the rivers and sell the land into the hand of the wicked. And I'll make the land and everything in it a waste, by the hand of strangers. I the Lord have spoken it. This is what the Lord God says: I'll wreck the idols too and make the empty gods stop at Memphis. And there won't be a leader out of the land of Egypt any more, and I'll put fear in the land of Egypt. And I'll make Pathros a wreck and light a fire in Zoan, and I'll do judgments in Thebes. And I'll pour out my fury on Pelusium, the strength of Egypt, and I'll cut off the crowd of Thebes. And I'll light a fire in Egypt. Pelusium will be in great pain and Thebes will be split open and Memphis will have troubles every day. The young men of On and Pi Beseth will fall by the sword, and those towns will go into captivity. At Tahpanhes the day will go dark, when I break the yokes of Egypt there and the pride of her strength stops in her. As for her, a cloud will cover her, and her daughters will go into captivity. That's how I'll do judgments in Egypt. And they'll know that I'm the Lord.
The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Howl ye, Woe worth the day! For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon. 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. 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. 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. And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in No. And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No. And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain, and No shall be rent asunder, and Noph shall have distresses daily. The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword: and these cities shall go into captivity. 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. Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

Pharaoh's broken arm
And in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh of the month, the LORD spoke to me: Son of man, I've broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And look: it hasn't been bound up to be healed, or put in a bandage to bind it so it'd be strong enough to hold a sword. So this is what the Lord GOD says: Look, I'm against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and I'll break his arms, the strong one and the broken one. And I'll make the sword fall out of his hand. And I'll scatter the Egyptians among the nations and spread them through the countries. And I'll make the arms of the king of Babylon strong and put my sword in his hand. But I'll break Pharaoh's arms, and he'll groan before him like a man run through groans. But I'll hold up the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh will drop. And they'll know that I'm the LORD, when I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he stretches it out over the land of Egypt. And I'll scatter the Egyptians among the nations and spread them through the countries. And they'll know that I'm the LORD.

But I'll break Pharaoh's arms, and he'll groan in front of him like a man run through groans. But I'll hold up the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh will drop. And they'll know that I'm the Lord, when I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he stretches it out over the land of Egypt.
