cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the
midst of the stones of fire.
[17] Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy
wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they
may behold thee.
[18] Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity
of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring
thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
[19] All they that know thee among
the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
[20]
Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
[21] Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and
prophesy against it,
[22] And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon; and I will
be glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall have executed
judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.
[23] For I will send into her pestilence, and blood into her
streets; and the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side; and
they shall know that I am the LORD.
[24] And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of
Israel, nor any grieving thorn of all that are round about them, that despised them; and they shall know
that I am the Lord GOD.
[25] Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel
from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen,
then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob.
[26] And they shall dwell safely
therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have
executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am
the LORD their God.
Ezek.29
[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
