에스겔 29장 NASB
- 1 In the tenth year in the tenth month on the twelfth of the month the word of the LORD came to me saying
- 2 "Son of man set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.
- 3 "Speak and say 'Thus says the Lord GOD "Behold I am against you Pharaoh king of Egypt The great monster that lies in the midst of his rivers That has said 'My Nile is mine and I myself have made it.'
- 4 "I will put hooks in your jaws And make the fish of your rivers cling to your scales. And I will bring you up out of the midst of your rivers And all the fish of your rivers will cling to your scales.
- 5 "I will abandon you to the wilderness you and all the fish of your rivers; You will fall on the open field; you will not be brought together or gathered. I have given you for food to the beasts of the earth and to the birds of the sky.
- 6 "Then all the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am the LORD Because they have been only a staff made of reed to the house of Israel.
- 7 "When they took hold of you with the hand You broke and tore all their hands; And when they leaned on you You broke and made all their loins quake."
- 8 'Therefore thus says the Lord GOD "Behold I will bring upon you a sword and I will cut off from you man and beast.
- 9 "The land of Egypt will become a desolation and waste. Then they will know that I am the LORD. Because you said 'The Nile is mine and I have made it'
- 10 therefore behold I am against you and against your rivers and I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation from Migdol to Syene and even to the border of Ethiopia.
- 11 "A man's foot will not pass through it and the foot of a beast will not pass through it and it will not be inhabited for forty years.
- 12 "So I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of desolated lands. And her cities in the midst of cities that are laid waste will be desolate forty years; and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands."
- 13 'For thus says the Lord GOD "At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples among whom they were scattered.
- 14 "I will turn the fortunes of Egypt and make them return to the land of Pathros to the land of their origin and there they will be a lowly kingdom.
- 15 "It will be the lowest of the kingdoms and it will never again lift itself up above the nations. And I will make them so small that they will not rule over the nations.
- 16 "And it will never again be the confidence of the house of Israel bringing to mind the iniquity of their having turned to Egypt. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD."'"
- 17 Now in the twenty-seventh year in the first month on the first of the month the word of the LORD came to me saying
- 18 "Son of man Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made his army labor hard against Tyre; every head was made bald and every shoulder was rubbed bare. But he and his army had no wages from Tyre for the labor that he had performed against it."
- 19 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD "Behold I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. And he will carry off her wealth and capture her spoil and seize her plunder; and it will be wages for his army.
- 20 "I have given him the land of Egypt for his labor which he performed because they acted for Me" declares the Lord GOD.
- 21 "On that day I will make a horn sprout for the house of Israel and I will open your mouth in their midst. Then they will know that I am the LORD."
