26:029:007 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.
26:029:008 Therefore thus saith the Lord god;
Behold, I will bring a
sword
upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee.
26:029:009 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.
26:029:010 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.
26:029:011 No foot of man shall pass through it, nor
foot of beast shall
pass
through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
26:029:012 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.
26:029:013 Yet thus saith the Lord god; At the
end of forty years will I
gather
the Egyptians from the people whither they were
scattered:
26:029:014 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.
26:029:015 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.
26:029:016 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.
26:029:017 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,
26:029:018 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:
26:029:019 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.
