And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus says the Lord God; Howl, Alas for the day!

For the day is near, even the day of the Lord is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the nations.

And the sword shall come upon Miżrayim, and anguish shall be in Kush, when the slain shall fall in Miżrayim, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.

Kush, and Put, and Lud, and all ῾Erev, and Kuv, and the men of the land that is in league (with them,) shall fall with them by the sword.

Thus says the Lord; They also that uphold Miżrayim shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from Migdol to Seven shall they fall in it by the sword, says the Lord God.

And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities shall be (wasted) in the midst of the cities that are wasted.

And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have set a fire in Miżrayim, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed.

On that day shall messengers go from me in ships to terrify the confident men of Kush, and anguish shall come upon them, as in the day of Miżrayim: for, lo, it comes.

Thus says the Lord God; I will also put an end to the multitude of Miżrayim by the hand of Nevukhadreżżar king of Bavel.

He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land: and they shall draw their swords against Miżrayim; and fill the land with the slain.

And I will make the streams dry, and sell the land into the hand of the wicked: and I will make the land desolate, and all that is in it, by the hand of strangers: I the Lord have spoken it.

Thus says the Lord God; I will also destroy the idols, and I will put an end to the images of Nof; and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Miżrayim: and I will put a fear in the land of Miżrayim.

And I will make Patros desolate, and will set fire in Żo῾an, and will execute judgments in No.

And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of Miżrayim; and I will cut off the multitude of No.

And I will set a fire in Miżrayim: Sin shall be in great agony, and No shall be rent asunder, and Nof shall have enemies by day.

The young men of Aven and of Pi-veset shall fall by the sword: and these cities shall go into captivity.

At Teĥafneĥes also the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the yokes of Miżrayim: and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.

Thus will I execute judgments in Miżrayim: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Son of man, I have broken the arm of Par῾o king of Miżrayim; and, lo, it has not been bound up to be healed, to put a dressing to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.

Therefore thus says the Lord God; Behold, I am against Par῾o king of Miżrayim and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.

And I will scatter Miż­rayim among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.

And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Bavel, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break Par῾o’s arms, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of deadly wounded man.

Thus I will strengthen the arms of the king of Bavel, and the arms of Par῾o shall fall down; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Bavel, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Miżrayim.

And I will scatter Miżrayim among the nations, and disperse them among the countries; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
