In the tenthH6224 yearH8141, in the tenthH6224 month, in the twelfthH8147+H6240 day of the monthH2320, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 thy faceH6440 against PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and prophesyH5012 against him, and against all EgyptH4714:
SpeakH1696, and sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I am against thee, PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, the greatH1419 dragonH8577 that liethH7257 in the midstH8432 of his riversH2975, which hath saidH559, My riverH2975 is mine own, and I have madeH6213 it for myself.
But I will putH5414 hooksH2397+H2397 in thy jawsH3895, and I will cause the fishH1710 of thy riversH2975 to stickH1692 unto thy scalesH7193, and I will bring thee upH5927 out of the midstH8432 of thy riversH2975, and all the fishH1710 of thy riversH2975 shall stickH1692 unto thy scalesH7193.
And I will leaveH5203 thee thrown into the wildernessH4057, thee and all the fishH1710 of thy riversH2975: thou shalt fallH5307 upon the openH6440 fieldsH7704; thou shalt not be brought togetherH622, nor gatheredH6908: I have givenH5414 thee for meatH402 to the beastsH2416 of the fieldH776 and to the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064. {open…: Heb. face of the field}
And all the inhabitantsH3427 of EgyptH4714 shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, because they have been a staffH4938 of reedH7070 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
When they took holdH8610 of thee by thy handH3709, thou didst breakH7533, and rendH1234 all their shoulderH3802: and when they leanedH8172 upon thee, thou brakestH7665, and madest all their loinsH4975 to be at a standH5976.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will bringH935 a swordH2719 upon thee, and cut offH3772 manH120 and beastH929 out of thee.
And the landH776 of EgyptH4714 shall be desolateH8077 and wasteH2723; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068: because he hath saidH559, The riverH2975 is mine, and I have madeH6213 it.
Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy riversH2975, and I will makeH5414 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 utterlyH2721 wasteH2723 and desolateH8077, from the towerH4024 of SyeneH5482 even unto the borderH1366 of EthiopiaH3568. {utterly…: Heb. wastes of waste} {from…: or, from Migdol to Syene} {Syene: Heb. Seveneh}
No footH7272 of manH120 shall pass throughH5674 it, nor footH7272 of beastH929 shall pass throughH5674 it, neither shall it be inhabitedH3427 fortyH705 yearsH8141.
And I will makeH5414 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 desolateH8077 in the midstH8432 of the countriesH776 that are desolateH8074, and her citiesH5892 amongH8432 the citiesH5892 that are laid wasteH2717 shall be desolateH8077 fortyH705 yearsH8141: and I will scatterH6327 the EgyptiansH4714 among the nationsH1471, and will disperseH2219 them through the countriesH776.
Yet thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; At the endH7093 of fortyH705 yearsH8141 will I gatherH6908 the EgyptiansH4714 from the peopleH5971 whither they were scatteredH6327:
And I will bring againH7725 the captivityH7622 of EgyptH4714, and will cause them to returnH7725 into the landH776 of PathrosH6624, into the landH776 of their habitationH4351; and they shall be there a baseH8217 kingdomH4467. {habitation: or, birth} {base: Heb. low}
It shall be the basestH8217 of the kingdomsH4467; neither shall it exaltH5375 itself any more above the nationsH1471: for I will diminishH4591 them, that they shall no more ruleH7287 over the nationsH1471.
And it shall be no more the confidenceH4009 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, which bringethH2142 their iniquityH5771 to remembranceH2142, when they shall lookH6437 afterH310 them: but they shall knowH3045 that I am the LordH136 GODH3069.
And it came to pass in the sevenH7651 and twentiethH6242 yearH8141, in the firstH7223 month, in the firstH259 day of the monthH2320, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 causedH5647 his armyH2428 to serveH5647 a greatH1419 serviceH5656 against TyrusH6865: every headH7218 was made baldH7139, and every shoulderH3802 was peeledH4803: yet had he no wagesH7939, nor his armyH2428, for TyrusH6865, for the serviceH5656 that he had servedH5647 against it:
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will giveH5414 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 unto NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894; and he shall takeH5375 her multitudeH1995, and takeH7997 her spoilH7998, and takeH962 her preyH957; and it shall be the wagesH7939 for his armyH2428. {take her spoil…: Heb. spoil her spoil, and prey her prey}
I have givenH5414 him the landH776 of EgyptH4714 for his labourH6468 wherewith he servedH5647 against it, because they wroughtH6213 for me, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {for his…: or, for his hire}
In that dayH3117 will I causeH6779 the hornH7161 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 to bud forthH6779, and I will giveH5414 thee the openingH6610 of the mouthH6310 in the midstH8432 of them; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.

And all the inhabitantsH3427 of EgyptH4714 shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, because they have been a staffH4938 of reedH7070 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
And it shall be unto them as a falseH7723 divinationH7080 in their sightH5869, to them that have swornH7650 oathsH7621: but he will call to remembranceH2142 the iniquityH5771, that they may be takenH8610. {to them…: or, for the oaths made unto them}
And all the inhabitantsH3427 of EgyptH4714 shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, because they have been a staffH4938 of reedH7070 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.

Then shall the manH376 bringH935 his wifeH802 unto the priestH3548, and he shall bringH935 her offeringH7133 for her, the tenthH6224 part of an ephahH374 of barleyH8184 mealH7058; he shall pourH3332 no oilH8081 upon it, nor putH5414 frankincenseH3828 thereon; for it is an offeringH4503 of jealousyH7068, an offeringH4503 of memorialH2146, bringingH2142 iniquityH5771 to remembranceH2142.
And the landH776 of EgyptH4714 shall be desolateH8077 and wasteH2723; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068: because he hath saidH559, The riverH2975 is mine, and I have madeH6213 it.
But he rebelledH4775 against him in sendingH7971 his ambassadorsH4397 into EgyptH4714, that they might giveH5414 him horsesH5483 and muchH7227 peopleH5971. Shall he prosperH6743? shall he escapeH4422 that doethH6213 such things? or shall he breakH6565 the covenantH1285, and be deliveredH4422?
As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, surely in the placeH4725 where the kingH4428 dwelleth that made him kingH4427, whose oathH423 he despisedH959, and whose covenantH1285 he brakeH6565, even with him in the midstH8432 of BabylonH894 he shall dieH4191.
Neither shall PharaohH6547 with his mightyH1419 armyH2428 and greatH7227 companyH6951 makeH6213 for him in the warH4421, by casting upH8210 mountsH5550, and buildingH1129 fortsH1785, to cut offH3772 manyH7227 personsH5315:
And she saidH559 unto ElijahH452, What have I to do with thee, O thou manH376 of GodH430? art thou comeH935 unto me to callH2142 my sinH5771 to remembranceH2142, and to slayH4191 my sonH1121?
In that dayH3117 will I causeH6779 the hornH7161 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 to bud forthH6779, and I will giveH5414 thee the openingH6610 of the mouthH6310 in the midstH8432 of them; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
And they shall be afraidH2865 and ashamedH954 of EthiopiaH3568 their expectationH4007, and of EgyptH4714 their gloryH8597.
RememberH2142 not the sinsH2403 of my youthH5271, nor my transgressionsH6588: according to thy mercyH2617 rememberH2142 thou me for thy goodness'H2898 sake, O LORDH3068.
And sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I am against thee, O ZidonH6721; and I will be glorifiedH3513 in the midstH8432 of thee: and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I shall have executedH6213 judgmentsH8201 in her, and shall be sanctifiedH6942 in her.
For I will sendH7971 into her pestilenceH1698, and bloodH1818 into her streetsH2351; and the woundedH2491 shall be judgedH5307 in the midstH8432 of her by the swordH2719 upon her on every sideH5439; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
And there shall be no more a prickingH3992 brierH5544 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, nor any grievingH3510 thornH6975 of all that are round aboutH5439 them, that despisedH7590 them; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LordH136 GODH3069.
WoeH1945 to the rebelliousH5637 childrenH1121, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that takeH6213 counselH6098, but not of me; and that coverH5258 with a coveringH4541, but not of my spiritH7307, that they may addH5595 sinH2403 to sinH2403:
That walkH1980 to go downH3381 into EgyptH4714, and have not askedH7592 at my mouthH6310; to strengthenH5810 themselves in the strengthH4581 of PharaohH6547, and to trustH2620 in the shadowH6738 of EgyptH4714!
Therefore shall the strengthH4581 of PharaohH6547 be your shameH1322, and the trustH2622 in the shadowH6738 of EgyptH4714 your confusionH3639.
For his princesH8269 were at ZoanH6814, and his ambassadorsH4397 cameH5060 to HanesH2609.
They were all ashamedH3001 of a peopleH5971 that could not profitH3276 them, nor be an helpH5828 nor profitH3276, but a shameH1322, and also a reproachH2781.
The burdenH4853 of the beastsH929 of the southH5045: into the landH776 of troubleH6869 and anguishH6695, from whence come the youngH3833 and old lionH3918, the viperH660 and fieryH8314 flyingH5774 serpentH8314, they will carryH5375 their richesH2428 upon the shouldersH3802 of young assesH5895, and their treasuresH214 upon the bunchesH1707 of camelsH1581, to a peopleH5971 that shall not profitH3276 them.
O rememberH2142 not against us formerH7223 iniquitiesH5771: let thy tender merciesH7356 speedilyH4118 preventH6923 us: for we are broughtH1809 veryH3966 lowH1809. {former…: or, the iniquities of them that were before us}
And they shall dwellH3427 safelyH983 therein, and shall buildH1129 housesH1004, and plantH5193 vineyardsH3754; yea, they shall dwellH3427 with confidenceH983, when I have executedH6213 judgmentsH8201 upon all those that despiseH7590 them round aboutH5439 them; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 their GodH430. {safely: or, with confidence} {despise: or, spoil}
WoeH1945 to them that go downH3381 to EgyptH4714 for helpH5833; and stayH8172 on horsesH5483, and trustH982 in chariotsH7393, because they are manyH7227; and in horsemenH6571, because they are veryH3966 strongH6105; but they lookH8159 not unto the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, neither seekH1875 the LORDH3068!
Yet he also is wiseH2450, and will bringH935 evilH7451, and will not call backH5493 his wordsH1697: but will ariseH6965 against the houseH1004 of the evildoersH7489, and against the helpH5833 of them that workH6466 iniquityH205. {call…: Heb. remove}
Now the EgyptiansH4714 are menH120, and not GodH410; and their horsesH5483 fleshH1320, and not spiritH7307. When the LORDH3068 shall stretch outH5186 his handH3027, both he that helpethH5826 shall fallH3782, and he that is holpenH5826 shall fall downH5307, and they all shall failH3615 togetherH3162.
Be not wrothH7107 very soreH3966, O LORDH3068, neither rememberH2142 iniquityH5771 for everH5703: behold, seeH5027, we beseech thee, we are all thy peopleH5971.
And RabshakehH7262 saidH559 unto them, SayH559 ye now to HezekiahH2396, Thus saithH559 the greatH1419 kingH4428, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, What confidenceH986 is this wherein thou trustestH982?
I sayH559, sayest thou, (but they are but vainH8193 wordsH1697) I have counselH6098 and strengthH1369 for warH4421: now on whom dost thou trustH982, that thou rebellestH4775 against me? {vain…: Heb. a word of lips} {I have…: or, but counsel and strength are for the war}
Lo, thou trustestH982 in the staffH4938 of this brokenH7533 reedH7070, on EgyptH4714; whereon if a manH376 leanH5564, it will goH935 into his handH3709, and pierceH5344 it: so is PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 to all that trustH982 in him.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 unto this peopleH5971, Thus have they lovedH157 to wanderH5128, they have not refrainedH2820 their feetH7272, therefore the LORDH3068 doth not acceptH7521 them; he will now rememberH2142 their iniquityH5771, and visitH6485 their sinsH2403.
And now what hast thou to do in the wayH1870 of EgyptH4714, to drinkH8354 the watersH4325 of SihorH7883? or what hast thou to do in the wayH1870 of AssyriaH804, to drinkH8354 the watersH4325 of the riverH5104?
They sacrificeH2076 fleshH1320 for the sacrificesH2077 of mine offeringsH1890, and eatH398 it; but the LORDH3068 acceptethH7521 them not; now will he rememberH2142 their iniquityH5771, and visitH6485 their sinsH2403: they shall returnH7725 to EgyptH4714. {They sacrifice…: or, In the sacrifices of mine offerings they, etc}
Thine own wickednessH7451 shall correctH3256 thee, and thy backslidingsH4878 shall reproveH3198 thee: knowH3045 therefore and seeH7200 that it is an evilH7451 thing and bitterH4751, that thou hast forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and that my fearH6345 is not in thee, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635.
They have deeplyH6009 corruptedH7843 themselves, as in the daysH3117 of GibeahH1390: therefore he will rememberH2142 their iniquityH5771, he will visitH6485 their sinsH2403.
Why gaddest thou aboutH235 so muchH3966 to changeH8138 thy wayH1870? thou also shalt be ashamedH954 of EgyptH4714, as thou wast ashamedH954 of AssyriaH804.
ButG235 inG1722 thoseG846 sacrifices there is a remembrance againG364 made of sinsG266 everyG2596 yearG1763.
Yea, thou shalt go forthH3318 from him, and thine handsH3027 upon thine headH7218: for the LORDH3068 hath rejectedH3988 thy confidencesH4009, and thou shalt not prosperH6743 in them.
AndG2532 theirG846 sinsG266 andG2532 iniquitiesG458+G846 will I rememberG3415 noG3364 moreG2089. {And their: some copies have, Then he said, And their}
Then Pharaoh'sH6547 armyH2428 was come forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714: and when the ChaldeansH3778 that besiegedH6696 JerusalemH3389 heardH8085 tidingsH8088 of them, they departedH5927 from JerusalemH3389.
Then came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Thus shall ye sayH559 to the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, that sentH7971 you unto me to enquireH1875 of me; Behold, Pharaoh'sH6547 armyH2428, which is come forthH3318 to helpH5833 you, shall returnH7725 to EgyptH4714 into their own landH776.
AndG2532 the greatG3173 cityG4172 was dividedG1096 intoG1519 threeG5140 partsG3313, andG2532 the citiesG4172 of the nationsG1484 fellG4098: andG2532 greatG3173 BabylonG897 came in remembranceG3415 beforeG1799 GodG2316, to giveG1325 unto herG846 the cupG4221 of the wineG3631 of the fiercenessG2372 of hisG846 wrathG3709.
As for us, our eyesH5869 as yet failedH3615 for our vainH1892 helpH5833: in our watchingH6836 we have watchedH6822 for a nationH1471 that could not saveH3467 us.
When EphraimH669 sawH7200 his sicknessH2483, and JudahH3063 saw his woundH4205, then wentH3212 EphraimH669 to the AssyrianH804, and sentH7971 to kingH4428 JarebH3377+H7378: yet couldH3201 he not healH7495 you, nor cureH1455 you of your woundH4205. {king Jareb: or, the king of Jareb: or, the king that should plead}
EphraimH669 also is like a sillyH6601 doveH3123 without heartH3820: they callH7121 to EgyptH4714, they goH1980 to AssyriaH804.
