Ezekiel 25

1

And the word of the LORD came to me saying,

2

"Son of man, set your face toward the sons of Ammon and prophesy against them,

3

and say to the sons of Ammon, "Hear the word of the Lord GOD! Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because you said, " Aha!' against My sanctuary when it was profaned, and against the land of Israel when it was made desolate, and against the house of Judah when they went into exile,

4

therefore, behold, I am going to give you to the sons of the east for a possession, and they will set their encampments among you and make their dwellings among you; they will eat your fruit and drink your milk.

5

"I will make Rabbah a pasture for camels and the sons of Ammon a resting place for flocks. Thus you will know that I am the LORD.'

6

"For thus says the Lord GOD, "Because you have clapped your hands and stamped your feet and rejoiced with all the scorn of your soul against the land of Israel,

7

therefore, behold, I have stretched out My hand against you and I will give you for spoil to the nations. And I will cut you off from the peoples and make you perish from the lands; I will destroy you. Thus you will know that I am the LORD.'

8

"Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because Moab and Seir say, "Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations,'

9

therefore, behold, I am going to deprive the flank of Moab of its cities, of its cities which are on its frontiers, the glory of the land, Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon and Kiriathaim,

10

and I will give it for a possession along with the sons of Ammon to the sons of the east, so that the sons of Ammon will not be remembered among the nations.

11

"Thus I will execute judgments on Moab, and they will know that I am the LORD.'

12

"Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because Edom has acted against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has incurred grievous guilt, and avenged themselves upon them,'

13

therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "I will also stretch out My hand against Edom and cut off man and beast from it. And I will lay it waste; from Teman even to Dedan they will fall by the sword.

14

" I will lay My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel. Therefore, they will act in Edom according to My anger and according to My wrath; thus they will know My vengeance,' declares the Lord GOD.

15

"Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because the Philistines have acted in revenge and have taken vengeance with scorn of soul to destroy with everlasting enmity,'

16

therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I will stretch out My hand against the Philistines, even cut off the Cherethites and destroy the remnant of the seacoast.

17

"I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes; and they will know that I am the LORD when I lay My vengeance on them.' 26

Ezekiel 26

1

Now in the eleventh year, on the first of the month, the word of the LORD came to me saying,

2

"Son of man, because Tyre has said concerning Jerusalem, "Aha, the gateway of the peoples is broken; it has opened to me. I shall be filled, now that she is laid waste,'

3

therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and I will bring up many nations against you, as the sea brings up its waves.

4

"They will destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers; and I will scrape her debris from her and make her a bare rock.

5

"She will be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea, for I have spoken,' declares the Lord GOD, "and she will become spoil for the nations.

6

"Also her daughters who are on the mainland will be slain by the sword, and they will know that I am the LORD.'

7

For thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I will bring upon Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, with horses, chariots, cavalry and a great army.

8

"He will slay your daughters on the mainland with the sword; and he will make siege walls against you, cast up a ramp against you and raise up a large shield against you.

9

"The blow of his battering rams he will direct against your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers.

10

"Because of the multitude of his horses, the dust raised by them will cover you; your walls will shake at the noise of cavalry and wagons and chariots when he enters your gates as men enter a city that is breached.

11

"With the hoofs of his horses he will trample all your streets. He will slay your people with the sword; and your strong pillars will come down to the ground.

12

"Also they will make a spoil of your riches and a prey of your merchandise, break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses, and throw your stones and your timbers and your debris into the water.

13

"So I will silence the sound of your songs, and the sound of your harps will be heard no more.

14

"I will make you a bare rock; you will be a place for the spreading of nets. You will be built no more, for I the LORD have spoken,' declares the Lord GOD.

15

Thus says the Lord GOD to Tyre, "Shall not the coastlands shake at the sound of your fall when the wounded groan, when the slaughter occurs in your midst?

16

"Then all the princes of the sea will go down from their thrones, remove their robes and strip off their embroidered garments. They will clothe themselves with trembling; they will sit on the ground, tremble every moment and be appalled at you.

17

"They will take up a lamentation over you and say to you, " How you have perished, O inhabited one, From the seas, O renowned city, Which was mighty on the sea, She and her inhabitants, Who imposed her terror On all her inhabitants!

18

"Now the coastlands will tremble On the day of your fall; Yes, the coastlands which are by the sea Will be terrified at your passing.'

19

For thus says the Lord GOD, "When I make you a desolate city, like the cities which are not inhabited, when I bring up the deep over you and the great waters cover you,

20

then I will bring you down with those who go down to the pit, to the people of old, and I will make you dwell in the lower parts of the earth, like the ancient waste places, with those who go down to the pit, so that you will not be inhabited; but I will set glory in the land of the living.

21

"I will bring terrors on you and you will be no more; though you will be sought, you will never be found again,' declares the Lord GOD. 27

Ezekiel 27

1

Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me saying,

2

"And you, son of man, take up a lamentation over Tyre;

3

and say to Tyre, who dwells at the entrance to the sea, merchant of the peoples to many coastlands, "Thus says the Lord GOD, "O Tyre, you have said, "I am perfect in beauty.'

4

"Your borders are in the heart of the seas; Your builders have perfected your beauty.

5

"They have made all your planks of fir trees from Senir; They have taken a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you.

6

"Of oaks from Bashan they have made your oars; With ivory they have inlaid your deck of boxwood from the coastlands of Cyprus.

7

"Your sail was of fine embroidered linen from Egypt So that it became your distinguishing mark; Your awning was blue and purple from the coastlands of Elishah.

8

"The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your rowers; Your wise men, O Tyre, were aboard; they were your pilots.

9

"The elders of Gebal and her wise men were with you repairing your seams; All the ships of the sea and their sailors were with you in order to deal in your merchandise.

10

" Persia and Lud and Put were in your army, your men of war. They hung shield and helmet in you; they set forth your splendor.

11

"The sons of Arvad and your army were on your walls, all around, and the Gammadim were in your towers. They hung their shields on your walls all around; they perfected your beauty.

12

"Tarshish was your customer because of the abundance of all kinds of wealth; with silver, iron, tin and lead they paid for your wares.

13

" Javan, Tubal and Meshech, they were your traders; with the lives of men and vessels of bronze they paid for your merchandise.

14

"Those from Beth-togarmah gave horses and war horses and mules for your wares.

15

"The sons of Dedan were your traders. Many coastlands were your market; ivory tusks and ebony they brought as your payment.

16

" Aram was your customer because of the abundance of your goods; they paid for your wares with emeralds, purple, embroidered work, fine linen, coral and rubies.

17

"Judah and the land of Israel, they were your traders; with the wheat of Minnith, cakes, honey, oil and balm they paid for your merchandise.

18

" Damascus was your customer because of the abundance of your goods, because of the abundance of all kinds of wealth, because of the wine of Helbon and white wool.

19

"Vedan and Javan paid for your wares from Uzal; wrought iron, cassia and sweet cane were among your merchandise.

20

" Dedan traded with you in saddlecloths for riding.

21

" Arabia and all the princes of Kedar, they were your customers for lambs, rams and goats; for these they were your customers.

22

"The traders of Sheba and Raamah, they traded with you; they paid for your wares with the best of all kinds of spices, and with all kinds of precious stones and gold.

23

"Haran, Canneh, Eden, the traders of Sheba, Asshur and Chilmad traded with you.

24

"They traded with you in choice garments, in clothes of blue and embroidered work, and in carpets of many colors and tightly wound cords, which were among your merchandise.

25

"The ships of Tarshish were the carriers for your merchandise. And you were filled and were very glorious In the heart of the seas.

26

"Your rowers have brought you Into great waters; The east wind has broken you In the heart of the seas.

27

"Your wealth, your wares, your merchandise, Your sailors and your pilots, Your repairers of seams, your dealers in merchandise And all your men of war who are in you, With all your company that is in your midst, Will fall into the heart of the seas On the day of your overthrow.

28

"At the sound of the cry of your pilots The pasture lands will shake.

29

"All who handle the oar, The sailors and all the pilots of the sea Will come down from their ships; They will stand on the land,

30

And they will make their voice heard over you And will cry bitterly. They will cast dust on their heads, They will wallow in ashes.

31

"Also they will make themselves bald for you And gird themselves with sackcloth; And they will weep for you in bitterness of soul With bitter mourning.

32

"Moreover, in their wailing they will take up a lamentation for you And lament over you: "Who is like Tyre, Like her who is silent in the midst of the sea?

33

"When your wares went out from the seas, You satisfied many peoples; With the abundance of your wealth and your merchandise You enriched the kings of earth.

34

" Now that you are broken by the seas In the depths of the waters, Your merchandise and all your company Have fallen in the midst of you.

35

"All the inhabitants of the coastlands Are appalled at you, And their kings are horribly afraid; They are troubled in countenance.

36

"The merchants among the peoples hiss at you; You have become terrified And you will cease to be forever.' 28

Ezekiel 28

1

The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,

2

"Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre, "Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because your heart is lifted up And you have said, " I am a god, I sit in the seat of gods In the heart of the seas'; Yet you are a man and not God, Although you make your heart like the heart of God

3

Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; There is no secret that is a match for you.

4

"By your wisdom and understanding You have acquired riches for yourself And have acquired gold and silver for your treasuries.

5

"By your great wisdom, by your trade You have increased your riches And your heart is lifted up because of your riches

6

Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "Because you have made your heart Like the heart of God,

7

Therefore, behold, I will bring strangers upon you, The most ruthless of the nations. And they will draw their swords Against the beauty of your wisdom And defile your splendor.

8

"They will bring you down to the pit, And you will die the death of those who are slain In the heart of the seas.

9

"Will you still say, "I am a god,' In the presence of your slayer, Though you are a man and not God, In the hands of those who wound you?

10

"You will die the death of the uncircumcised By the hand of strangers, For I have spoken!' declares the Lord GOD!'

11

Again the word of the LORD came to me saying,

12

"Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre and say to him, "Thus says the Lord GOD, "You had the seal of perfection, Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

13

"You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The ruby, the topaz and the diamond; The beryl, the onyx and the jasper; The lapis lazuli, the turquoise and the emerald; And the gold, the workmanship of your settings and sockets, Was in you. On the day that you were created They were prepared.

14

"You were the anointed cherub who covers, And I placed you there. You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked in the midst of the stones of fire.

15

"You were blameless in your ways From the day you were created Until unrighteousness was found in you.

16

"By the abundance of your trade You were internally filled with violence, And you sinned; Therefore I have cast you as profane From the mountain of God. And I have destroyed you, O covering cherub, From the midst of the stones of fire.

17

"Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; You corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I put you before kings, That they may see you.

18

"By the multitude of your iniquities, In the unrighteousness of your trade You profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought fire from the midst of you; It has consumed you, And I have turned you to ashes on the earth In the eyes of all who see you.

19

"All who know you among the peoples Are appalled at you; You have become terrified And you will cease to be forever.'

20

And the word of the LORD came to me saying,

21

"Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, prophesy against her

22

and say, "Thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I am against you, O Sidon, And I will be glorified in your midst. Then they will know that I am the LORD when I execute judgments in her, And I will manifest My holiness in her.

23

"For I will send pestilence to her And blood to her streets, And the wounded will fall in her midst By the sword upon her on every side; Then they will know that I am the LORD.

24

"And there will be no more for the house of Israel a prickling brier or a painful thorn from any round about them who scorned them; then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.'

25

"Thus says the Lord GOD, "When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and will manifest My holiness in them in the sight of the nations, then they will live in their land which I gave to My servant Jacob.

26

"They will live in it securely; and they will build houses, plant vineyards and live securely when I execute judgments upon all who scorn them round about them. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.' 29

Ezekiel 29

1

In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth of the month, the word of the LORD came to me saying,

2

"Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.

3

"Speak and say, "Thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, The great monster that lies in the midst of his rivers, That has said, "My Nile is mine, and I myself have made it.'

4

"I will put hooks in your jaws And make the fish of your rivers cling to your scales. And I will bring you up out of the midst of your rivers, And all the fish of your rivers will cling to your scales.

5

"I will abandon you to the wilderness, you and all the fish of your rivers; You will fall on the open field; you will not be brought together or gathered. I have given you for food to the beasts of the earth and to the birds of the sky.

6

"Then all the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am the LORD, Because they have been only a staff made of reed to the house of Israel.

7

"When they took hold of you with the hand, You broke and tore all their hands; And when they leaned on you, You broke and made all their loins quake.'

8

"Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I will bring upon you a sword and I will cut off from you man and beast.

9

"The land of Egypt will become a desolation and waste. Then they will know that I am the LORD. Because you said, "The Nile is mine, and I have made it,'

10

therefore, behold, I am against you and against your rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from Migdol to Syene and even to the border of Ethiopia.

11

"A man's foot will not pass through it, and the foot of a beast will not pass through it, and it will not be inhabited for forty years.

12

"So I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of desolated lands. And her cities, in the midst of cities that are laid waste, will be desolate forty years; and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands.'

13

"For thus says the Lord GOD, "At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples among whom they were scattered.

14

"I will turn the fortunes of Egypt and make them return to the land of Pathros, to the land of their origin, and there they will be a lowly kingdom.

15

"It will be the lowest of the kingdoms, and it will never again lift itself up above the nations. And I will make them so small that they will not rule over the nations.

16

"And it will never again be the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing to mind the iniquity of their having turned to Egypt. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.'

17

Now in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first of the month, the word of the LORD came to me saying,

18

"Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made his army labor hard against Tyre; every head was made bald and every shoulder was rubbed bare. But he and his army had no wages from Tyre for the labor that he had performed against it.'

19

Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. And he will carry off her wealth and capture her spoil and seize her plunder; and it will be wages for his army.

20

"I have given him the land of Egypt for his labor which he performed, because they acted for Me,' declares the Lord GOD.

21

"On that day I will make a horn sprout for the house of Israel, and I will open your mouth in their midst. Then they will know that I am the LORD.' 30

Ezekiel 30

1

The word of the LORD came again to me saying,

2

"Son of man, prophesy and say, "Thus says the Lord GOD, " Wail, "Alas for the day!'

3

"For the day is near, Even the day of the LORD is near; It will be a day of clouds, A time of doom for the nations.

4

"A sword will come upon Egypt, And anguish will be in Ethiopia; When the slain fall in Egypt, They take away her wealth, And her foundations are torn down.

5

" Ethiopia, Put, Lud all Arabia, Libya and the people of the land that is in league will fall with them by the sword.'

6

"Thus says the LORD, "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.

7

"They will be desolate In the midst of the desolated lands; And her cities will be In the midst of the devastated cities.

8

"And they will know that I am the LORD, When I set a fire in Egypt And all her helpers are broken.

9

"On that day messengers will go forth from Me in ships to frighten secure Ethiopia; and anguish will be on them as on the day of Egypt; for behold, it comes!'

10

"Thus says the Lord GOD, " I will also make the hordes of Egypt cease By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.

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.

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.'

13

"Thus says the Lord GOD, "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.

14

"I will make Pathros desolate, Set a fire in Zoan And execute judgments on Thebes.

15

"I will pour out My wrath on Sin, The stronghold of Egypt; I will also cut off the hordes of Thebes.

16

"I will set a fire in Egypt; Sin will writhe in anguish, Thebes will be breached And Memphis will have distresses daily.

17

"The young men of On and of Pi-beseth Will fall by the sword, And the women will go into captivity.

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.

19

"Thus I will execute judgments on Egypt, And they will know that I am the LORD.'

20

In the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh of the month, the word of the LORD came to me saying,

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, that it may be strong to hold the sword.

22

"Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt and will break his arms, both the strong and the broken; and I will make the sword fall from his hand.

23

"I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands.

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 groanings of a wounded man.

25

"Thus I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh will fall. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I put My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he stretches it out against the land of Egypt.

26

"When I scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands, then they will know that I am the LORD.' 31
