¹ Ah! wings of the land of ships! Thou who surpassest the Ethiopian streams, ² thou who art sending pledges by sea, and paper messages on the water; for swift messengers will go to a lofty nation, and to a strange and fierce people.

And against them will be gathered all the birds of the air; and all the wild beasts of the earth will come upon it. ⁷ At that time gifts will be brought to the Lord of Hosts from a people afflicted and peeled; even on account of a people great from this time and forever. A nation having hope, though trodden down, which is in a part of the river of its country, will send them to the place of him, whose name is the Lord of Hosts, even to mount Sion.

¹ A vision concerning Egypt. Behold the Lord is seated on a swift cloud; and he will come into Egypt; and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence; and the heart of the people shall melt within them. ² And they shall be stirred up, Egyptians against Egyptians, and shall fight; brother against brother and neighbour against neighbour, city against city, and nome against nome. ³ And the spirit of the Egyptians shall be troubled within them: and I will dissipate their counsel; and they will consult their gods and their idols; and them who cause a voice to proceed from the ground, namely the belly speakers. ⁴ And I will deliver Egypt into the hands of men: cruel lords; and fierce kings shall have dominion over them. Thus saith the Lord of Hosts, ⁵ The Egyptians drink water even that near the sea, but the river shall fail and be dried up; ⁶ both the streams and the canals of the river shall fail; and every collection of water shall be dried up, even every fen, where reeds and papyrus grow. ⁷ And all the quick springing herbage which is around the river, and every thing which is sown by the river shall be dried up and withered by the wind. ⁸ And the fisher men shall mourn; all who cast drags in the river shall mourn; and they who spread nets and they who are anglers shall grieve: ⁹ and shame shall seize them who work the split flax, and them who work up the cotton. ¹⁰ They who are employed in such works shall be in sorrow; and they who brew beer shall mourn and be grieved in soul. ¹¹ The princes of Tanis shall be fools, those wise counsellors of the king, their counsel shall be turned into folly.

¹ In the year that Tanathan having been sent by Arna king of Assyria went to Azotus and fought against it and took it, ² at that time the Lord spoke to Esaias son of Amos saying, "Go and take the sackcloth from thy loins and loose thy sandals from thy feet; and having done so walk stripped and bare foot." ³ And the Lord said, "As my servant Esaias hath walked stripped and bare foot, three years; three years he shall be for signs and wonders to the Egyptians, and Ethiopians, ⁴ that in this manner the king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt and Ethiopia, young and old, naked and barefoot, exposing to view the shame of Egypt. ⁵ And they being subdued shall be ashamed of the Ethiopians in whom the Egyptians had placed confidence; for they were their glory. ⁶ And in that day the inhabitants of this country will say, "Behold we trusted to flee for help to them, who were unable to deliver themselves from the king of Assyria: how then shall we escape?

²⁵ Behold days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will visit upon all the uncircumcised, their uncircumcisions ²⁶ Upon Egypt, and upon Idumea, and upon Edom, and upon the Ammonites, and upon the Moabites, and upon all that have their foreheads shaven; namely them who dwell in the wilderness.

³⁰ thus said the Lord, Behold I deliver up Onaphre king of Egypt, into the hands of his enemy, and into the hands of him who seeketh his life, as I delivered Sedekias king of Juda into the hands of Nabuchodonosar king of Babylon, his enemy, and who sought his life.

² To Egypt, respecting the army of Pharao Nechao, king of Egypt, who was by the river Euphrates, at Charmis, whom Nabuchodonosar king of Babylon defeated, in the fourth year of Joakim king of Juda. ³ Arm with buckler and shields, and advance to battle. ⁴ Harness the horses.

Because their mighty men will be cut down, they fled amain; they rallied not, being hemmed in on all sides, saith the Lord. ⁶ Let not the swift flee, nor the mighty escape to the north. The forces at the river Euphrates are weak and have fallen. ⁷ Who is this that will rush forth like the river, and whose stream will billow like a flood? ⁸ The waters of Egypt will rush forth like a river: for he said, "I will issue forth and overwhelm the earth, and destroy the inhabitants thereof. ⁹ Mount your horses, prepare your chariots: march forth ye warriors of Ethiopia! and ye Libyans well clad in armour! go up also ye Lydians who bend the bow." ¹⁰ [p] This is indeed a day for the Lord our God: a day of vengeance, to execute vengeance on his enemies.

Say, to arms! and be ready! for a sword hath laid waste thy grove. ¹⁵ Why did Apis flee from thee? Thy chosen bull, why did he not stand? ¹⁶ because the Lord made him weak and thy multitude was weak and fell.

² Son of man prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord, Alas! alas! the day; ³ for the day of the Lord is near. A cloudy day! it shall be the end of nations. ⁴ A sword shall come upon the Egyptians; and there shall be consternation in the land of Ethiopia; and the wounded shall fall in Egypt, and its foundations shall be shaken. ⁵ Persians and Cretans and Lydians and Libyans and all the mixed people, and some of the children of my covenant shall fall in it by the sword. ⁶ The fortresses of Egypt shall fall, and down shall come the pride of her strength, from Magdolus even to Syene; by the sword they shall fall in it, saith the Lord. ⁷ And it shall be desolate in the midst of desolated countries; and their cities shall be in the midst of desolated cities. ⁸ And they shall know that I am the Lord; when I send a fire against Egypt, and all her helpers are trodden down. ⁹ In that day swift messengers will go forth to cause Ethiopia to vanish: and there shall be consternation among them in the day of Egypt. For behold it is come. ¹⁰ Thus saith the Lord, Lord, I will indeed destroy the multitude of the Egyptians by the hand of Nabuchodonosar king of Babylon; ¹¹ Again a word of the Lord came to me saying, of him and his people. They are ravagers sent from nations to destroy a land; and they shall all unsheath their swords against Egypt; and the land shall be filled with the slain. ¹² And I will dry up their rivers and destroy the land, and the fulness thereof by the hands of strangers, I the Lord have spoken. ¹³ For thus saith the Lord, Lord, When I have destroyed the nobles from Memphis, and the chiefs of Memphis out of the land of Egypt, and they shall be no more; ¹⁴ then I will destroy the land of Pathora, and send a fire against Tanis and execute vengeance on Diospolis. ¹⁵ And I will pour out my wrath on Sais, the strength of Egypt, and utterly destroy the multitude of Memphis: ¹⁶ and I will send a fire against Egypt, and Syene shall be confounded; and at Diospolis there shall be a breach; and water shall gush out. ¹⁷ The young men of Heliopolis and Boubaste shall fall by the sword, and the women shall go into captivity. ¹⁸ And at Taphnis the day will be darkened, when I there break the sceptres of Egypt, for the pride of her strength shall be destroyed there: and a cloud shall cover her; and her daughters shall be carried away captives. ¹⁹ Thus will I execute judgment on Egypt, and they shall know that I am the Lord. ²⁰ And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh of the month, a word of the Lord came to me, saying, ²¹ Son of man, I bruised the arms of Pharao king of Egypt; and behold he hath made no supplication for a cure to be given, for a poultice to be applied; for strength to be given to handle a sword, ²² Therefore thus saith the Lord, Lord, Behold I am against Pharao king of Egypt; and I will break his strong and extended arms, and cause the sword to drop from his hand. ²³ And I will scatter Egypt among the nations, and disperse them through the countries. ²⁴ And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword into his hand, and he shall wield it against Egypt, and make a prey of his prey, and a spoil of his spoil. ²⁵ I will indeed strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon; and the arms of Pharao shall be enfeebled; and they shall know that I am the Lord. When I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, he shall wield it against the land of Egypt. ²⁶ And I will scatter Egypt among the nations, and disperse them through the countries, and they shall all know that I am the Lord.

¹ Again in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, a word of the Lord came to me, saying, ² Son of man say to Pharao king of Egypt, and to his multitude, to whom hast thou likened thyself for thy loftiness? ³ Lo to Assur! he was a cypress on Libanus. Beautiful with branches and lofty in stature. His top was among the clouds. ⁴ Water nourished him. The deep made him lofty. It brought its streams about his roots, and sent forth its rills to all the trees of the plain. ⁵ By reason of this he was exalted in greatness above all the trees of the plain, and by the plentiful supply of water his branches spread. ⁶ Among his boughs all the birds of the air built their nests; and under his branches all the beasts of the field brought forth their young; and all the multitude of nations dwelt in its shade. ⁷ He was beautiful in his height by the multitude of his branches, because his roots shot out into abundance of water. ⁸ Even the cypresses such as were in the paradise of God and the pines were not to be compared with his shoots, nor were the fir trees comparable to his branches. Not a tree in the garden of God was equal to him in beauty, ⁹ on the account of the multitude of his branches; therefore, the trees of God's delicious paradise envied him on that account. ¹⁰ But thus saith the Lord, Because thou wast of great magnitude, therefore thou hast shot up thy top among the clouds. Now when I saw that he was lifted up, ¹¹ I delivered him into the hands of the chief of nations, who accomplished his destruction. ¹² Strangers, merciless ravagers from nations destroyed him. They felled him on the mountains and his branches fell in all the vallies, and his shoots were trampled down in every field of the earth; and all the tribes of the nations came down from their shade, and levelled him to the ground. ¹³ Upon his ruins all the birds of the air rested themselves; and all the wild beasts of the earth came against his shoots; ¹⁴ that none of the trees by the water might be exalted by their greatness: though they had shot up their top among the clouds, yet none of these water drinkers stood in their height before them; they were all delivered up to death, to the depth of the earth, among the children of men, to them who go down to the pit. ¹⁵ Thus saith the Lord, On the day he went down to Hades, the abyss mourned for him. I stayed its streams and restrained the abundance of water. For him Libanus covered itself with darkness; all the trees of the field were grieved for him. ¹⁶ At the sound of his fall the nations were shaken. When he was pressed down to the mansion of the dead, with them who go down into the pit; all the trees of the garden comforted him in the earth; even the choice trees of Libanus, all that drink water; ¹⁷ for they also went down with him to the mansion of the dead, among them who were victims of the sword; and his seed; they who dwelt under his shade were in the middle of their life destroyed. ¹⁸ To whomsoever thou hast been likened, down with thee, and be pressed low with the trees of pleasure into the depth of the earth. In the midst of the uncircumcised thou shalt lie, with them who are the victims of the swords. Thus shall it be with Pharao and the multitude of his strength, saith the Lord, Lord.

¹ Now it came to pass in the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, that a word of the Lord came to me, saying, ² Son of man, take up a funeral song for Pharao king of Egypt, and thou shalt say to him, To the lion of nations thou hast been likened, but thou art like a dragon which is in the sea. Thou hast harried thy rivers and troubled the water with thy feet, and trampled thy rivers. ³ Therefore thus saith the Lord, I will spread for thee the nets of many peoples, and drag thee up with my grapple. ⁴ And I will lay thee extended on the land. The plains shall be filled. And I will cause all the birds of the air to settle on thee and glut all the beasts of the earth. ⁵ I will cast thy flesh on the mountains and fill them with thy blood: ⁶ and the earth shall be drenched with the torrents from thee. By reason of the abundance of thee on the mountains, I will fill the vallies with parcels of thee. ⁷ And in the act of extinguishing thee I will cover heaven and darken the stars thereof: I will veil the sun with a cloud and the moon shall not give her light: ⁸ all that give light in the heaven shall be dark over thee; and I will overspread the earth with darkness, saith the Lord, Lord, ⁹ and vex the heart of many peoples. When I bring thy captivity to the nations; to a land which thou hast not known; ¹⁰ then shall many nations groan for thee: and their kings will be struck with horror, when my sword is brandished before their faces, expecting their own ruin from the day of thy downfall. ¹¹ For thus saith the Lord, the sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee. ¹² With the swords of giants I will overthrow thy strength. They are all ravagers from the nations; and they shall destroy the haughtiness of Egypt, and all her strength shall be trampled down. ¹³ And I will destroy all her cattle from her great water; and the foot of man shall no more trouble it, nor shall a hoof of cattle trample it. ¹⁴ Thus shall their waters then be at rest, and their streams shall glide like oil, saith the Lord. ¹⁵ When I have devoted Egypt to destruction, and the land is wasted with the fulness thereof; When I have scattered all its inhabitants, then they shall know that I am the Lord. ¹⁶ It is a song of Woe and thou shalt sing it mournfully, and the daughters of the nations shall bewail Egypt, and over all her strength pour forth this plaint, saith the Lord, Lord. ¹⁷ Again in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the first month a word of the Lord came to me, saying, ¹⁸ Son of man, sing a song of Woe over the strength of Egypt, when the nations shall thrust down her daughters; shall thrust them down dead to the depth of the earth; to them who are going down into the pit; ¹⁹ [Omitted] ²⁰ in the midst of the sword's victims they shall fall with him. When all his power shall be laid to rest; then will the giants say to thee, ²¹ "Down with thee into the lowest pit! excel whom thou mayst, down with thee, and be laid with the uncircumcised, in the midst of the victims of the sword." ²² There lieth Assur and all his assembly; all the victims of the sword are laid there; and their sepulture is in the deep pit; ²³ and around his tomb is his assembly; all the slain who fell by the sword, who made themselves dreaded in the land of life. ²⁴ There lieth Ailam with all his host around his tomb; all the slain who fell by the sword, and went down uncircumcised to the depth of the earth: ²⁵ having made themselves dreaded in the land of life, they have received their punishment with them who go down to the pit amidst the slain. ²⁶ There are deposited Mosoch and Thobel, each with all his host around his tomb; all his slain, all uncircumcised, slain with the sword. Having made themselves dreaded in the land of life ²⁷ they are laid with the giants who fell of old; who went down in their armour to the mansion of the dead, and had their swords placed under their heads; but their iniquities were on their bones; because they were the terror of all during their lives. ²⁸ Thou indeed shalt be in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them who are the victims of the sword. ²⁹ There have been laid the princes of Assur; they, who gave its strength to the wounding sword, are themselves laid to rest with the slain; with them who go down into the pit. ³⁰ There lie the chiefs of the north, all the generals of Assur, who descending wounded, are with their terror and their strength, laid to rest, uncircumcised with the slain of the sword; and have borne their punishment with them who go down to the pit. ³¹ These king Pharao shall see and be comforted for all his host, saith the Lord, Lord. ³² Because I have spread the terror of him over the land of life; therefore he shall be in the midst of the uncircumcised, with the slain of the sword; even Pharao and all his multitude with him, saith the Lord, Lord.

¹⁹ Egypt shall be a desolation, and Idumea a scene of destruction, for the injuries done to the children of Juda; for their having shed innocent blood in their land:

¹⁸ But if the tribe of Egypt go not up nor come; upon them shall be the plague with which the Lord will smite all the nations which come not up to celebrate the festival of tabernacles. ¹⁹ This shall be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations which decline to come up to celebrate the festival of tabernacles.
