The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 31: Ezechiel: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Ezekiel
29:14. And I will bring back the captivity of Egypt, and will place them
in the land of Phatures, in the land of their nativity, and they shall
be there a low kingdom:
29:15. It shall be the lowest among other kingdoms, and it shall no more
be exalted over the nations, and I will diminish them that they shall
rule no more over the nations.
29:16. And they shall be no more a confidence to the house of Israel,
teaching iniquity, that they may flee, and follow them: and they shall
know that I am the Lord God.
29:17. And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year in the first
month, in the first of the month: that the word of the Lord came to me,
saying:
29:18. Son of man, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon hath made his army to
undergo hard service against Tyre: every head was made bald, and every
shoulder was peeled and there hath been no reward given him, nor his
army for Tyre, for the service that he rendered me against it.
29:19. Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will set
Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon in the land of Egypt: and he shall
take her multitude, and take the booty thereof for a prey, and rifle the
spoils thereof: and it shall be wages for his army.
29:20. And for the service that he hath done me against it: I have given
him the land of Egypt, because he hath laboured for me, saith the Lord
God.
29:21. In that day a horn shall bud forth to the house of Israel, and I
will give thee an open mouth in the midst of them: and they shall know
that I am the Lord.
Ezechiel Chapter 30
The desolation of Egypt and her helpers: all her cities shall be wasted.
30:1. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
30:2. Son of man prophesy, and say: Thus saith the Lord God: Howl ye,
Woe, woe to the day:
30:3. For the day is near, yea the day of the Lord is near: a cloudy
day, it shall be the time of the nations.
30:4. And the sword shall come upon Egypt: and there shall be dread in
Ethiopia, when the wounded shall fall in Egypt, and the multitude
thereof shall be taken away, and the foundations thereof shall be
destroyed.
30:5. Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the rest of the crowd, and
Chub, and the children of the land of the covenant, shall fall with them
by the sword.
30:6. Thus saith the Lord God: They also that uphold Egypt shall fall,
and the pride of her empire shall be brought down: from the tower of
Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord the God of
hosts.
30:7. And they shall be desolate in the midst of the lands that are
desolate, and the cities thereof shall be in the midst of the cities
that are wasted.
30:8. And they shall know that I am the Lord: when I shall have set a
fire in Egypt, and all the helpers thereof shall be destroyed.
30:9. In that day shall messengers go forth from my face in ships to
destroy the confidence of Ethiopia, and there shall be dread among them
in the day of Egypt: because it shall certainly come.
