New Living Translation (NLT)
Ezekiel 29
20 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.
21 “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.”
Ezekiel 30
1 This is another message that came to me from the LORD:
2 “Son of man, prophesy and give this message from the Sovereign LORD: “Weep and wail for that day,
3 for the terrible day is almost here— the day of the LORD! It is a day of clouds and gloom, a day of despair for the nations.
4 A sword will come against Egypt, and those who are slaughtered will cover the ground. Its wealth will be carried away and its foundations destroyed. The land of Ethiopia will be ravished.
5 Ethiopia, Libya, Lydia, all Arabia, and all their other allies will be destroyed in that war.
6 “For this is what the LORD says: All of Egypt’s allies will fall, and the pride of her power will end. From Migdol to Aswan they will be slaughtered by the sword, says the Sovereign LORD.
7 Egypt will be desolate, surrounded by desolate nations, and its cities will be in ruins, surrounded by other ruined cities.
8 And the people of Egypt will know that I am the LORD when I have set Egypt on fire and destroyed all their allies.
9 At that time I will send swift messengers in ships to terrify the complacent Ethiopians. Great panic will come upon them on that day of Egypt’s certain destruction. Watch for it! It is sure to come!
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
