Ezekiel 30:10-25
New American Standard Bible
14I will make Pathros desolate, Set a fire in Zoan And execute judgments on Thebes.
15I will pour out My wrath on Sin, The stronghold of Egypt; I will also eliminate the hordes of Thebes.
16I will set a fire in Egypt; Sin will writhe in anguish, Thebes will be breached And Memphis will have distresses daily.
17The young men of On and of Pi-beseth Will fall by the sword, And the women will go into captivity.
18In Tehaphnehes the day will be dark When I break there the yoke bars of Egypt. Then the pride of her power will cease in her; A cloud will cover her, And her daughters will go into captivity.
19So I will execute judgments on Egypt, And they will know that I am the Lord.'?’?'
20In the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
21Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, behold, it has not been bound up for healing or wrapped with a bandage, so that it may be strong to wield the sword.
22Therefore this is what the Lord God says: ‘Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and I will break his arms, both the strong and the broken; and I will make the sword fall from his hand.
23And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands.
24For I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put My sword in his hand; and I will break the arms of Pharaoh, so that he will groan before him with the groans of a wounded man.
25So I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh will fail. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I put My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he reaches out with it against the land of Egypt.
