“‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: I will put an end to the hordes of Egypt, by the hand of King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon.

I will desolate Pathros, I will ignite a fire in Zoan, and I will execute judgments on Thebes.

I will pour out my anger upon Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt; I will cut off the hordes of Thebes.

I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among foreign countries. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”

You rely on your swords and commit abominable deeds; each of you defiles his neighbor’s wife. Will you possess the land?’

You eat the fat, you clothe yourselves with the wool, you slaughter the choice animals, but you do not feed the sheep!

“‘For this is what the sovereign Lord says: Look, I myself will search for my sheep and seek them out.

I will turn Mount Seir into a desolate ruin; I will cut off from it the one who passes through or returns.

I will fill its mountains with its dead; on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines, those killed by the sword will fall.

I will put my Spirit within you; I will take the initiative and you will obey my statutes and carefully observe my regulations.

Then you will know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and raise you from your graves, my people.

Then, when my sanctuary is among them forever, the nations will know that I, the Lord, sanctify Israel.’”
