(Ezekiel 29)

On the twelfth day of the tenth month of the tenth year, the word of the Lord came to me: Son of man set your face against Pharaoh, King of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against all Egypt! Say this to him: Thus says the Lord God:

See! I am coming at you, Pharaoh,
King of Egypt!
Great crouching monster
amids your Niles
Who say, "The Niles are mine! it is I who made them!

I will put hooks in your jaws and make the fish of your Nile stick to your scales, then draw upon from the midst of your NIles along with all the fish of your Niles sticking to your scales.

Thus says the Lord God:

I will cast you into the desert,
you and all the fish of your NIles;
you shall fall upon the open field,
you shall not be taken up or buried;
To the BEAST of the Earth and the birds of the air
I give y ou as food,
That all who dwell in Egypt may know that I am Lord.

Because you have been a reed staff for the house of Israel:
When they hold you in hand, you splintered, when they leaned on you, you broke,
bringing each one of them down headlong

Therefore says the Lord God:
See! I will bring the sword against you and cut off from you both man and beast. The land of Egypt shall become a desolate waste; thus they SHALL know that I am Lord.

Because you said, "The Niles are mine; it is I who mad them," therefore see! I am coming at you and against your Niles; I will make the land of Egypt a waste and a desolation from Migdol to Syene, and even to the frontier of Ethiopia!

Hark! The righteous justice of the Lord,
The Word of the Lord,

(Ezekiel 31)

On the first day of the twelfth month in the twelfth year, the word of the Lord came to me:
Son of man, utter a lament over Pharaoh, the King of Egypt, saying to him: Lion of the Nations! you are destroyed!

You were like a monster in the sea,
spouting in your streams,
stirring the water with your feet
and churning its streams.

Thus, says the Lord God:

I will spread my net over you and draw you up in the seine.
I will leave you on the land;
on the open field I will cast you.
i will have allt he birds of the air alight on you,
and all the beasts on the earth their fill on you.

I will leave your flesh on the mountains,
and fill the valleys with your carcass.
I will water the land with what flows from you,
and the river SHALL be red.
When I snuff you out I will cover the heavens,
and all their stars I will darken.
The sun I will cover with clouds,
and the moon shall not give its light
All the shining lights in the heavens I will darken on your account,
And I WILL spread darkness over your land.

In your pride you sing to yourself; as you harm My people
Nay, I will cut down your horde with the blades of warriors,
all of them the most ruthless of the nations

When I turn Egypt into a waste, the land shall be devasted of all that is in it.
When I strike all who live there, they shall know that I am the Lord.
This is a dirge, and it shall be sung: the daughters of the nations shall chant it;
over Egypt and all its hordes shall they chant it, Says The Lord.

Because the Lord is not deaf to those who call upon him, and because his mercies are from Everlasting to Everlasting, He forgives Egypt and all her people. He Humbles the great and strong so that they become meek. You spared Egypt despite their transgressions, merciful even unto those who are wicked.

The Word of the Lord,

(Ezekiel 29)

Says the Lord God:
At the end of the forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and I will restore Egypt's fortune, bringing them back to the land of Pathros, and the land of their origin. Where it will be the lowliest of kingdoms, never more to set it above the nations. I will make them few, that they do not dominate the nations. No longer shall they be for the house of Israel to trust in, but the living reminder of its guilt for having turned to follow after them. THUS, they shall know that I AM the Lord.
