1 In the tenth year, in the tenth [month], in the twelfth [day] of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt:
3 Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river [is] mine own, and I have made [it] for myself.
4 But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales.
5 And I will leave thee [thrown] into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven.
6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I [am] the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
7 When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand.
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee.
9 And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD: because he hath said, The river [is] mine, and I have made [it].
10 Behold, therefore I [am] against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste [and] desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.
11 No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
12 And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries [that are] desolate, and her cities among the cities [that are] laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
13 Yet thus saith the Lord GOD; At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered:
14 And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return [into] the land of Pathros, into the land of their habitation; and they shall be there a base kingdom.
15 It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.
16 And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, which bringeth [their] iniquity to remembrance, when they shall look after them: but they shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD.
17 And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first [month], in the first [day] of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
18 Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head [was] made bald, and every shoulder [was] peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served against it:
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.
20 I have given him the land of Egypt [for] his labour wherewith he served against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord GOD.
21 In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
Versículos relacionados com Ezekiel, 29:
Ezekiel 29 contains a message of judgment against Pharaoh and Egypt because they have opposed to God's people. The chapter begins with a declaration of God that he is against Pharaoh and against Egypt and ends with a promise of restoration for the people of Israel. The following verses provide an expansion of the historical context and the implications of God's judgment on Egypt:
Isaiah 31:1: "Woe to those who come down to Egypt to seek help, and estimate in horses; and have confidence in cars, because they are many; and in the knights, because they are very powerful; and do not pay attention to the saint of Israel, and They do not seek the Lord! " This verse warns God's people against seeking help in Egypt rather than trusting God. The judgment message in Ezekiel 29 is a direct consequence of this lack of confidence in God.
Exodus 7:5: "And the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord, when he extend my hand over Egypt, and take the children of Israel out of them." God promises to free the children of Israel from Egypt and show His power over the gods of Egypt. The judgment message in Ezekiel 29 is a fulfillment of this promise.
Isaiah 19:1: "Weight of Egypt. Behold, the Lord rides on a slight cloud, and enters Egypt; and the idols of Egypt shall shake before him, and the heart of the Egyptians will melt among them." This verse describes God's arrival to Egypt for judgment. Ezekiel's message 29 is an example of this divine justice.
Jeremiah 46:25: "The Lord of hosts, God of Israel, said, Behold, I will bring punishment on ammon of no, and over Pharaoh, and upon Egypt, together with their gods, and their kings; Pharaoh, and about those who trust him. " This verse predicts God's judgment on Egypt and its gods. Ezekiel's message 29 is a confirmation of this judgment.
Hosea 9:3: "They shall not dwell in the land of the Lord, but shall return to Egypt, and will eat in Assyria impure food." This verse prophesies the dispersal of the people of Israel and its subsequent return to Egypt. Ezekiel's message 29 is a response to this action and a statement of God's sovereignty over all nations, including Egypt.
