Pharaoh king of Egypt, his attendants, his officials and all his people,

Here is a list of the other kings and nations he sent me to. Pharaoh, the king of Egypt his attendants, his officials, all his people

Pharaoh king of Egypt, his servants, his officials, all his people,

Pharaoh king of Egypt, his officers, his leaders, all his people,

To Pharaoh king of Egypt, his servants, his officials, and all his people;

Pharaoh king of Egypt, his servants, his princes, and all his people;

Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;

Pharaoh king of Egypt, his officers, his leaders, all his people,

Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;

I made all of these other people drink it: Pharaoh, king of Egypt; his attendants, his officials, his people,

Pharaoh king of Egypt, with his servants, his princes, and all his people;

Then the Lord gave the prophet Jeremiah this message about King Nebuchadnezzar’s plans to attack Egypt.“ Shout it out in Egypt! Publish it in the cities of Migdol, Memphis, and Tahpanhes! Mobilize for battle, for the sword will devour everyone around you.Why have your warriors fallen? They cannot stand, for the Lord has knocked them down.They stumble and fall over each other and say among themselves,‘ Come, let’s go back to our people, to the land of our birth. Let’s get away from the sword of the enemy!’There they will say,‘ Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, is a loudmouth who missed his opportunity!’“ As surely as I live,” says the King, whose name is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,“ one is coming against Egypt who is as tall as Mount Tabor, or as Mount Carmel by the sea!Pack up! Get ready to leave for exile, you citizens of Egypt! The city of Memphis will be destroyed, without a single inhabitant.Egypt is as sleek as a beautiful heifer, but a horsefly from the north is on its way!Egypt’s mercenaries have become like fattened calves. They, too, will turn and run, for it is a day of great disaster for Egypt, a time of great punishment.Egypt flees, silent as a serpent gliding away. The invading army marches in; they come against her with axes like woodsmen.They will cut down her people like trees,” says the Lord,“ for they are more numerous than locusts.Egypt will be humiliated; she will be handed over to people from the north.”The Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says:“ I will punish Amon, the god of Thebes, and all the other gods of Egypt. I will punish its rulers and Pharaoh, too, and all who trust in him.I will hand them over to those who want them killed— to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and his army. But afterward the land will recover from the ravages of war. I, the Lord, have spoken!

Are you any better than the city of Thebes, situated on the Nile River, surrounded by water? She was protected by the river on all sides, walled in by water.Ethiopia and the land of Egypt gave unlimited assistance. The nations of Put and Libya were among her allies.Yet Thebes fell, and her people were led away as captives. Her babies were dashed to death against the stones of the streets. Soldiers threw dice to get Egyptian officers as servants. All their leaders were bound in chains.

This message concerning Egypt was given in the fourth year of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, the king of Judah, on the occasion of the battle of Carchemish when Pharaoh Neco, king of Egypt, and his army were defeated beside the Euphrates River by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.

On January 7, during the tenth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity, this message came to me from the Lord:“ Son of man, turn and face Egypt and prophesy against Pharaoh the king and all the people of Egypt.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 for myself.’I will put hooks in your jaws and drag you out on the land with fish sticking to your scales.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.All the people of Egypt will know that I am the Lord, for to Israel you were just a staff made of reeds.When Israel leaned on you, you splintered and broke and stabbed her in the armpit. When she put her weight on you, you collapsed, and her legs gave way.“ Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will bring an army against you, O Egypt, and destroy both people and animals.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,’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.For forty years not a soul will pass that way, neither people nor animals. It will be completely uninhabited.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.“ 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.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.It will be the lowliest of all the nations, never again great enough to rise above its neighbors.“ 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.”On April 26, the first day of the new year, during the twenty seventh year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity, this message came to me from the Lord:“ Son of man, the army of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon fought so hard against Tyre that the warriors’ heads were rubbed bare and their shoulders were raw and blistered. Yet Nebuchadnezzar and his army won no plunder to compensate them for all their work.Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon. He will carry off its wealth, plundering everything it has so he can pay his army.Yes, I have given him the land of Egypt as a reward for his work, says the Sovereign Lord, because he was working for me when he destroyed Tyre.“ And the day will come when I will cause the ancient glory of Israel to revive, and then, Ezekiel, your words will be respected. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”

“ While the people of Judah are watching, take some large rocks and bury them under the pavement stones at the entrance of Pharaoh’s palace here in Tahpanhes.Then say to the people of Judah,‘ This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: I will certainly bring my servant Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, here to Egypt. I will set his throne over these stones that I have hidden. He will spread his royal canopy over them.And when he comes, he will destroy the land of Egypt. He will bring death to those destined for death, captivity to those destined for captivity, and war to those destined for war.
