American Standard Version (ASV) With Strong Codes

1. In the tenth[H6224] year[H8141], in the tenth[H6224] month[H8147], in the twelfth day of the month[H2320], the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068] came unto me[H559], saying,

2. Son[H1121] of man[H120], set[H7760] thy face[H6440] against Pharaoh[H6547] king[H4428] of Egypt[H4714], and prophesy[H5012] against him[H4714], and against all Egypt;

3. speak[H1696], and say[H559], Thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069]: Behold[H6547], I am against thee, Pharaoh king[H4428] of Egypt[H4714], the great[H1419] monster[H8577] that lieth[H7257] in the midst[H8432] of his rivers[H2975], that hath said[H559], My river[H2975] is mine own[H6213], and I have made it for myself.

4. And I will put[H5414] hooks[H2397] in thy jaws[H3895], and I will cause the fish[H1710] of thy rivers[H2975] to stick[H1692] unto thy scales[H7193]; and I will bring thee up[H5927] out of the midst[H8432] of thy rivers[H2975], with all the fish[H1710] of thy rivers[H2975] which stick[H1692] unto thy scales[H7193].

5. And I will cast[H5203] thee forth into the wilderness[H4057], thee and all the fish[H1710] of thy rivers[H2975]: thou shalt fall[H5307] upon the open[H6440] field[H7704]; thou shalt not be brought together[H622], nor gathered[H6908]; I have given[H5414] thee for food[H402] to the beasts[H2416] of the earth[H776] and to the birds[H5775] of the heavens[H8064].

6. And all the inhabitants[H3427] of Egypt[H4714] shall know[H3045] that I am Jehovah[H3068], because they have been a staff[H4938] of reed[H7070] to the house[H1004] of Israel[H3478].

7. When they took hold[H8610] of thee by thy hand[H3709], thou didst break[H7533], and didst rend[H1234] all their shoulders[H3802]; and when they leaned[H8172] upon thee[H7665], thou brakest, and madest all their loins[H4975] to be at a stand[H5976].

8. Therefore thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069]: Behold[H935], I will bring a sword[H2719] upon thee[H3772], and will cut off from thee man[H120] and beast[H929].

9. And the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714] shall be a desolation[H8077] and a waste[H2723]; and they shall know[H3045] that I am Jehovah[H3068]. Because he hath said[H559], The river[H2975] is mine[H6213], and I have made it;

10. therefore[H2975], behold, I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make[H5414] the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714] an utter[H2721] waste[H2723] and desolation[H8077], from the tower[H4024] of Seveneh[H5482] even unto the border[H1366] of Ethiopia[H3568].

11. No foot[H7272] of man[H120] shall pass through[H5674] it[H7272], nor foot of beast[H929] shall pass through[H5674] it[H3427], neither shall it be inhabited forty[H705] years[H8141].

12. And I will make[H5414] the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714] a desolation[H8077] in the midst[H8432] of the countries[H776] that are desolate[H8074]; and her cities[H5892] among[H8432] the cities[H5892] that are laid waste[H2717] shall be a desolation[H8077] forty[H705] years[H8141]; and I will scatter[H6327] the Egyptians[H4714] among the nations[H1471], and will disperse[H2219] them through the countries[H776].

13. For thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069]: At the end[H7093] of forty[H705] years[H8141] will I gather[H6908] the Egyptians[H4714] from the peoples[H5971] whither they were scattered[H6327];

14. and I will bring back[H7725] the captivity[H7622] of Egypt[H4714], and will cause them to return[H7725] into the land[H776] of Pathros[H6624], into the land[H776] of their birth[H4351]; and they shall be there a base[H8217] kingdom[H4467].

15. It shall be the basest[H8217] of the kingdoms[H4467]; neither shall it any more lift itself up above[H5375] the nations[H1471]: and I will diminish[H4591] them[H7287], that they shall no more rule over the nations[H1471].

16. And it shall be no more the confidence[H4009] of the house[H1004] of Israel[H3478], bringing[H2142] iniquity[H5771] to remembrance[H2142], when they turn to look[H6437] after[H310] them[H3045]: and they shall know that I am the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069].

17. And it came to pass in the seven[H7651] and twentieth[H6242] year[H8141], in the first[H7223] month[H259], in the first day of the month[H2320], the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068] came unto me[H559], saying,

18. Son[H1121] of man[H120], Nebuchadrezzar[H5019] king[H4428] of Babylon[H894] caused[H5647] his army[H2428] to serve[H5647] a great[H1419] service[H5656] against Tyre[H6865]: every head[H7218] was made bald[H7139], and every shoulder[H3802] was worn[H4803]; yet had he no wages[H7939], nor his army[H2428], from Tyre[H6865], for the service[H5656] that he had served against it[H5647].

19. Therefore thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H136]: Behold[H5414], I will give the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714] unto Nebuchadrezzar[H5019] king[H4428] of Babylon[H894]; and he shall carry[H5375] off her multitude[H1995], and take[H5375] her spoil[H7998], and take[H7997] her prey[H957]; and it shall be the wages[H7939] for his army[H2428].

20. I have given[H5414] him the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714] as his recompense[H6468] for which he served[H5647], because they wrought[H6213] for me[H5002], saith the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069].

21. In that day[H3117] will I cause[H6779] a horn[H7161] to bud forth[H6779] unto the house[H1004] of Israel[H3478], and I will give[H5414] thee the opening[H6610] of the mouth[H6310] in the midst[H8432] of them[H3045]; and they shall know that I am Jehovah[H3068].
