Ezekiel 30

Ezekiel 30:3

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

The day is near at hand, wherein the Lord will take vengeance on the heathen, which have oppressed his people. So verse 4, and 5.

Ezekiel 30:6

From the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.

From the southern coast of Egypt along unto the north parts thereof, shall they be slain with the sword.

Ezekiel 30:9

In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh.

In that day will I cause messengers to go forth by sea, in ships of speed, to carry the sad news of Egypt’s destruction to the Ethiopians, who shall be exceedingly affrighted therewith; and shall be no less pained with the fear of the same evil, than Egypt is with the sense and smart of it.

Ezekiel 30:12

And sell the land into the hand of the wicked.

I will deliver up the land into the hand of the Babylonians, as if it were conveyed to them by bargain and sale.

Ezekiel 30:14

And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and will execute judgment in No.

And I will execute my utmost judgments upon the several provinces and chief cities of Egypt, upon Pathros, Zoan, and Alexandria. So also verse 15, and 16, and 17.

Ezekiel 30:18

At Tchophnehes also the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt; 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.

At Daphnis, there shall be a dark and gloomy day of slaughter and death, when I shall there make an end of the tyrannical government of Egypt; and all her pomp and glory of her strength shall utterly cease; and she shall be under a cloud of sorrow and obscurity, and her people shall be carried away into captivity.

Ezekiel 30:21

Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.

Son of man, I have already discomfited a great part of the forces of Pharaoh, king of Egypt: the loss, that he hath already sustained, shall not be repaired again by any means, for the preventing of his utter subversion.
