New Testament

Ezekiel 30:15-26 English Standard Version (ESV)

15. And I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium,the stronghold of Egypt,and cut off the multitude of Thebes.

16. And I will set fire to Egypt;Pelusium shall be in great agony;Thebes shall be breached,and Memphis shall face enemies by day.

17. The young men of On and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword,and the women shall go into captivity.

18. At Tehaphnehes the day shall be dark,when I break there the yoke bars of Egypt,and her proud might shall come to an end in her;she shall be covered by a cloud,and her daughters shall go into captivity.

19. Thus I will execute judgments on Egypt. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”

20. In the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:

21. “Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and behold, it has not been bound up, to heal it by binding it with a bandage, so that it may become strong to wield the sword.

22. Therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt and will break his arms, both the strong arm and the one that was broken, and I will make the sword fall from his hand.

23. I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and 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 the arms of Pharaoh, and he will groan before him like a man mortally wounded.

25. I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh shall fall. Then they shall know that I am the Lord, when I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he stretches it out against the land of Egypt.

26. And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them throughout the countries. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
