Ezekiel 30 – Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

The word ^H1697 of Yahweh ^H3068 came ^H1961 again to me saying ^H559,

“Wail ^H3213, ‘Alas ^H1929 for the day ^H3117!’

“For the day ^H3117 is near ^H7138,

Even the day ^H3117 of Yahweh ^H3068 is near ^H7138;

It will be a day ^H3117 of clouds ^H6051,

A time ^H6256 of doom for the nations ^H1471.

“A sword ^H2719 will come ^H935 upon Egypt ^H4714,

And anguish ^H2479 will be in [fn]Ethiopia ^H3568;

When the slain ^H2491 fall ^H5307 in Egypt ^H4714,

They take ^H3947 away her multitude ^H1995,

And her foundations ^H3247 are pulled ^H2040 down ^H2040.

“[fn]Ethiopia ^H3568, Put ^H6316, Lud ^H3865, all ^H3605 [fn]Arabia ^H6152, [fn]Libya ^H3864, and the [fn]people ^H1121 of the land ^H776 [fn]that is in covenant ^H1285 will fall ^H5307 with them by the sword ^H2719.”

‘Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068,

“Indeed, those who support ^H5564 Egypt ^H4714 will fall ^H5307,

And the pride ^H1347 of her strength ^H5797 will come ^H3381 down ^H3381;

From Migdol ^H4024 to Syene ^H5482

They will fall ^H5307 within her by the sword ^H2719,”

Declares ^H5002 Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068.

“They will be ^H8074 desolate ^H8074

In the midst ^H8432 of the desolated ^H8074 lands ^H776;

And her cities ^H5892 will be

In the midst ^H8432 of the cities ^H5892 laid ^H2717 waste ^H2717.

“And they will know ^H3045 that I am Yahweh ^H3068,

When I set ^H5414 a fire ^H784 in Egypt ^H4714

And all ^H3605 her helpers ^H5826 are broken ^H7665.

“On that day ^H3117 messengers ^H4397 will go ^H3318 forth ^H3318 from Me in ships ^H6716 to frighten ^H2729 secure ^H983 [fn]Ethiopia ^H3568; and anguish ^H2479 will be on them as on the day ^H3117 of Egypt ^H4714; for behold ^H2009, it is coming ^H935!”

‘Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068,

“I will also make the multitude ^H1995 of Egypt ^H4714 cease ^H7673

By the hand ^H3027 of Nebuchadnezzar ^H5019 king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894.

“He and his people ^H5971 with him,

The most ^H6184 ruthless ^H6184 of the nations ^H1471,

Will be brought ^H935 in ^H935 to make the land ^H776 a ruin ^H7843;

And they will draw ^H7324 their swords ^H2719 against ^H5921 Egypt ^H4714

And fill ^H4390 the land ^H776 with the slain ^H2491.

“Moreover, I will make ^H5414 the canals ^H2975 of the Nile ^H2975 dry ^H2724

And sell ^H4376 the land ^H776 into the hands ^H3027 of evil ^H7451 men ^H7451.

And I will make ^H8074 the land ^H776 desolate ^H8074,

As well as its fullness ^H4393,

By the hand ^H3027 of strangers ^H2114; I, Yahweh ^H3068, have spoken ^H1696.”

‘Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068,

“I will also destroy ^H6 the idols ^H1544

And make the [fn]images ^H457 cease ^H7673 from [fn]Memphis ^H5297.

And there will no ^H3808 longer ^H5750 be a prince ^H5387 in the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714;

And I will put ^H5414 fear ^H3374 in the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714.

“I will make ^H8074 Pathros ^H6624 desolate ^H8074,

Set ^H5414 a fire ^H784 in Zoan ^H6814,

And execute ^H6213 judgments ^H8201 on [fn]Thebes ^H4996.

“I will pour ^H8210 out ^H8210 My wrath ^H2534 on [fn]Sin ^H5512,

The strong ^H4581 defense ^H4581 of Egypt ^H4714;

I will also cut ^H3772 off ^H3772 the multitude ^H1995 of [fn]Thebes ^H4996.

“I will set ^H5414 a fire ^H784 in Egypt ^H4714;

[fn]Sin ^H5512 will writhe ^H2342 in ^H2342 anguish ^H2342;

[fn]Thebes ^H4996 will be breached ^H1234,

And [fn]Memphis ^H5297 will have [fn]distresses ^H6862 daily ^H3119.

“The choice ^H970 men ^H970 of [fn]On ^H204 and of Pi-beseth ^H6364

Will fall ^H5307 by the sword ^H2719,

And [fn]the women ^H1992 will go ^H1980 into captivity ^H7628.

“In Tehaphnehes ^H8471 the day ^H3117 will [fn]be ^H2821 dark ^H2821

When I break ^H7665 there ^H8033 the bars ^H4133 of the yoke ^H4133 of Egypt ^H4714.

Then the pride ^H1347 of her strength ^H5797 will cease ^H7673 in her;

A cloud ^H6051 will cover ^H3680 her,

And her daughters ^H1323 will go ^H1980 into captivity ^H7628.

“Thus I will execute ^H6213 judgments ^H8201 on Egypt ^H4714,

And they will know ^H3045 that I am Yahweh ^H3068.”’”

In the eleventh ^H259 H6240 year ^H8141, in the first ^H7223 month, on the seventh ^H7651 of the month ^H2320, the word ^H1697 of Yahweh ^H3068 came ^H1961 to me saying ^H559,
