1. On January 7, during the tenth year of King Jehoiachins captivity, this message came to me from the LORD:
2. "Son of man, turn and face Egypt and prophesy against Pharoah the King and all the people of Egypt.
3. Give them this message from the Sovereign LORD:
"I am your enemy, O Pharaoh, king of Egypt — you great monster, lurking in the streams of the Nile. For you have said, 'The Nile River is mine; I made it myself.'
4. I will put hooks in your jaws and drag you out on the land with fish sticking to your scales.
5. I will leave you and all your fish stranded in the wilderness to die. You will lie unburied on the open ground, for I have given you as food to the wild animals and birds.
6. All the people of Egypt will know that I am the LORD, for to Israel you were just a staff made of reeds.
7. When Israel leaned on you, you splintered and broke and stabbed her in the armpit. When she put her weight on you, you gave way, and her back was thrown out of joint.

8. "Therefore, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will bring an army against you, O Egypt, and destroy both people and animals.
9. The land of Egypt will become a desolate wasteland, and the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD.
"Because you said, 'The Nile River is mine; I made it,'
10. I am now the enemy of both you and your river. I will make the land of Egypt a totally desolate wasteland, from Migdol to Aswan, as far south as the border of Ethiopia.
11. For forty years not a soul will pass that way, neither people nor animals. It will be completely uninhabited.
12. I will make Egypt desolate, and it will be surrounded by other desolate nations. Its cities will be empty and desolate for forty years, surrounded by other ruined cities. I will scatter the Egyptians to distant lands

13. "But this is what the Sovereign LORD also says: At the end of the forty years I will bring the Egyptians home again from the nations to which they have been scattered.
14. I will restore the prosperity of Egypt and bring its people back to the land of Pathros in southern Egypt from which they came. But Egypt will remain an unimportant, minor kingdom.
15 It will be the lowliest of all the nations, never again great enough to rise above its neighbors.

16. "Then Israel will no longer be tempted to trust in Egypt for help. Egypt's shattered condition will remind Israel of how sinful she was to trust Egypt in earlier days. Then Israel will know that I am the Sovereign LORD."
Ezekiel 19:1-16 NLT
