Egypt will become a dry and empty desert. Then your people will know that I am the Lord.“ You said,‘ The Nile River belongs to me. I made it for myself.’

埃及地必荒废凄凉，他们就知道我是耶和华。“因为法老说：‘这河是我的，是我所造的’，

埃及地必荒芜废弃，他们就知道我是耶和华。“因为法老说‘尼罗河是我的，是我所造的’，

埃及地必荒芜废弃，他们就知道我是耶和华。“因为法老说‘尼罗河是我的，是我所造的’，

使埃及一片荒凉。这样，他们就知道我是耶和华。因为你说这尼罗河属于你，是你造的。

埃及地必荒凉废弃，人就知道我是耶和华。“‘因为法老曾说：“这河是我的，是我自己做的。”

埃及地必荒廢淒涼，他們就知道我是耶和華。「因為法老說：『這河是我的，是我所造的』，

埃及地必荒蕪廢棄，他們就知道我是耶和華。「因為法老說『尼羅河是我的，是我所造的』，

埃及地必荒蕪廢棄，他們就知道我是耶和華。「因為法老說『尼羅河是我的，是我所造的』，

使埃及一片荒涼。這樣，他們就知道我是耶和華。因為你說這尼羅河屬於你，是你造的。

埃及地必荒涼廢棄，人就知道我是耶和華。“‘因為法老曾說：“這河是我的，是我自己做的。”

埃及地就變成了淒涼荒廢了。他們就知道我乃是永恆主。『因為你說：「這河是我的，是我造的」；

因埃及王自謂、河為我有、乃我所造、埃及地必淒涼荒廢、則知我乃耶和華、

埃及王自謂鑿斯河、足供己用、故予必使埃及荒蕪、俾知我乃耶和華。

伊及王自言此河屬我、為我所造、故伊及地必荒蕪、變為沙漠、彼則知我乃主、

Egypt will become a desolate wasteland. Then they will know that I am the Lord.“‘ Because you said,“ The Nile is mine; I made it,”

and the land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste. Then they will know that I am the Lord.“ Because you said,‘ The Nile is mine, and I made it,’

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,’

The land of Egypt will be a desolate ruin. Then they will know that I am the LORD. Because you said,“ The Nile is my own; I made it,”

The land of Egypt will become a desolation and place of ruins. Then they will know that I am the Lord.“ Because you said,‘ The Nile is mine, and I have made it,’

And the land of Egypt shall become desolate and waste; then they will know that I am the Lord, because he said,‘ The River is mine, and I have made it.’

And the land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste; and they shall know that I am Jehovah. Because he hath said, The river is mine, and I have made it;

The land of Egypt will be a desolate ruin. Then they will know that I am Yahweh. Because you said,‘ The Nile is my own; I made it,’

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].

The land of Egypt will become a desolate ruin. Then they will know that I am the LORD. Because he said,“ The Nile is mine and I made it,”

The land of Egypt will be a desolation and a waste. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.“‘“ Because he has said,‘ The river is mine, and I have made it;’

Tell him,‘ The Lord and King says,“‘ “Pharaoh Hophra, I am against you. King of Egypt, you are like a huge monster lying among your streams. You say,‘ The Nile River belongs to me. I made it for myself.’

So I am against you and your streams. I will destroy the land of Egypt. I will turn it into a dry and empty desert from Migdol all the way to Aswan. I will destroy everything as far as the border of Cush.No people or animals will travel through Egypt. No one will even live there for 40 years.Egypt will be more empty than any other land. Its destroyed cities will lie empty for 40 years. I will scatter the people of Egypt among the nations. I will send them to other countries.”

If you are proud, you will be destroyed. If you are proud, you will fall.

If a person’s heart is proud, they will be destroyed. So don’t be proud if you want to be honored.

Pride brings a person low. But those whose spirits are low will be honored.

The Lord and King says,“ I will destroy the statues of Egypt’s gods. I will put an end to the gods the people in Memphis worship. Egypt will not have princes anymore. I will spread fear all through the land.I will completely destroy Upper Egypt. I will set Zoan on fire. I will punish Thebes.I will pour out my burning anger on Pelusium. It is a fort in eastern Egypt. I will wipe out the huge army of Thebes.I will set Egypt on fire. Pelusium will groan with terrible pain. Thebes will be ripped apart. Memphis will suffer greatly because of everything that happens.The young men of Heliopolis and Bubastis will be killed by swords. Their people will be taken away as prisoners.I will break Egypt’s power over other lands. That will be a dark day for Tahpanhes. There the strength Egypt was so proud of will come to an end. Egypt will be covered with clouds. The people in its villages will be taken away as prisoners.So I will punish Egypt. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”

“ Egypt will be more empty than any other land. Its cities will be completely destroyed.I will set Egypt on fire. All those who came to help it will be crushed. Then they will know that I am the Lord.

Then tell the Jews,‘ The Lord who rules over all is the God of Israel. He says,“ I will send for my servant Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon. And I will set his throne over these stones that are buried here. He will set up his royal tent over them.He will come and attack Egypt. He will bring death to those I have appointed to die. He will take away as prisoners those I have appointed to be taken away. And he will kill with swords those I have appointed to be killed.He will set the temples of the gods of Egypt on fire. He will burn down their temples. He will take away the statues of their gods. Nebuchadnezzar will be like a shepherd who picks his coat clean of lice. Nebuchadnezzar will pick Egypt clean and then depart.At Heliopolis in Egypt he will smash the sacred pillars to pieces. And he will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt.” ’ ”
