30:1  The word of the Lord came again to me, saying,
30:2  “Son of man, prophesy and say, ‘This is what the Lord God says: “Wail, ‘Woe for the day!’
30:3  For the day is near, Indeed, the day of the Lord is near; It will be a day of clouds, A time of doom for the nations.
30:4  A sword will come upon Egypt, And there will be trembling in Cush; When the slain fall in Egypt, They will take away her wealth, And her foundations will be torn down.
30:5  Cush, Put, Lud, all Arabia, Libya and the people of the land that is in league will fall with them by the sword.”
30:6  ‘This is what the Lord says: “Indeed, those who support Egypt will fall And the pride of her power will come down; From Migdol to Syene They will fall within her by the sword,” Declares the Lord God.
30:7  “They will be desolate In the midst of the desolated lands; And her cities will be In the midst of the devastated cities.
30:8  And they will know that I am the Lord, When I set a fire in Egypt And all her helpers are broken.
30:9  On that day messengers will go out from Me in ships to frighten carefree Cush; and trembling will come on them as on the day of Egypt; for behold, it is coming!”
30:10  ‘This is what the Lord God says: “I will also make the hordes of Egypt cease By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
30:11  He and his people with him, The most ruthless of the nations, Will be brought in to destroy the land; And they will draw their swords against Egypt And fill the land with the slain.
30:12  Moreover, I will make the Nile canals dry And sell the land into the hands of evil men. And I will make the land desolate And all that is in it, By the hand of strangers; I the Lord have spoken.”
30:13  ‘This is what the Lord God says: “I will also destroy the idols And make the images cease from Memphis. And there will no longer be a prince in the land of Egypt; And I will put fear in the land of Egypt.
30:14  I will make Pathros desolate, Set a fire in Zoan And execute judgments on Thebes.
30:15  I will pour out My wrath on Sin, The stronghold of Egypt; I will also eliminate the hordes of Thebes.
30:16  I will set a fire in Egypt; Sin will writhe in anguish, Thebes will be breached And Memphis will have distresses daily.
30:17  The young men of On and of Pi-beseth Will fall by the sword, And the women will go into captivity.
30:18  In Tehaphnehes the day will be dark When I break there the yoke bars of Egypt. Then the pride of her power will cease in her; A cloud will cover her, And her daughters will go into captivity.
30:19  So I will execute judgments on Egypt, And they will know that I am the Lord.”’”
30:20  In the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
30:21  “Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, behold, it has not been bound up for healing or wrapped with a bandage, so that it may be strong to wield the sword.
30:22  Therefore this is what the Lord God says: ‘Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and I will break his arms, both the strong and the broken; and I will make the sword fall from his hand.
30:23  And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands.
30:24  For I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put My sword in his hand; and I will break the arms of Pharaoh, so that he will groan before him with the groans of a wounded man.
30:25  So I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh will fail. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I put My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he reaches out with it against the land of Egypt.
30:26  When I scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands, then they will know that I am the Lord.’”
