IN the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the Word of Yahuah came unto me, saying,
son of A'dam, set your face against Phar'oh king of Mitsrayim, and prophesy against him, and against all Mitsrayim:
Speak, and say, Thus says Adonai Yahuah; Behold, I am against you, Phar'oh king of Mitsrayim, the great dragon that lies in the midst of his rivers, which has said, My river is my own, and I have made it for myself.
But I will put hooks in your jaws, and I will cause the fish of your rivers to stick unto your scales, and I will bring you up out of the midst of your rivers, and את all the fish of your rivers shall stick unto your scales.
And I will leave you thrown into the wilderness, you and את all the fish of your rivers: you shall fall upon the open fields; you shall not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given you as food for the beasts of the field and for the fowls of the heavens.
And all the inhabitants of Mitsrayim shall know that I am Yahuah, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Yashar'el.
When they took hold of you by your hand, you did break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon you, you broke, and made all their loins to be at a stand.
Therefore thus says Adonai Yahuah; Behold, I will bring a sword upon you, and cut off man and beast out of you.
And the land of Mitsrayim shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am Yahuah: because he has said, The river is mine, and I have made it.
Behold, therefore I am against you, and against your rivers, and I will make the land of Mitsrayim utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Ceveneh even unto the border of Kush.
No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
And I will make the land of Mitsrayim desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Mitsriym among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
Yet thus says Adonai Yahuah; At the end of forty years will I gather the Mitsriym from the people whither they were scattered:
And I will bring again the captivity of Mitsrayim, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathroc, into the land of their habitation; and they shall be there a base kingdom.
It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself anymore above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.
And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Yashar'el, which brings their iniquity to remembrance, when they shall look after them: but they shall know that I am Adonai Yahuah.
And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the Word of Yahuah came unto me, saying,
son of A'dam, Nevukadne'tstsar king of Babel caused his army to serve a great service against Tsor: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tsor, for the service that he had served against it:
Therefore thus says Adonai Yahuah; Behold, I will give the land of Mitsrayim unto Nevukadne'tstsar king of Babel; and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.
I have given him the land of Mitsrayim for his labor wherewith he served against it, because they wrought for me, says Adonai Yahuah.
In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Yashar'el to bud forth, and I will give you the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am Yahuah.
