Ezekiel 30

YHWH proclaims a day of the LORD bringing woe upon Egypt, with sword-wielding invaders filling the land with slain, drying rivers, wasting the land, destroying idols in Noph, and judging cities like Pathros, Zoan, No, Sin, Aven, Pi-Beseth, and Tehaphnehes, leading to desolation, captivity, and recognition that YHWH is God.[1][2][4] YHWH declares opposition to Pharaoh, breaking both his arms to render him defenseless, scattering Egyptians among nations, while strengthening Babylon's king with YHWH's sword to execute judgment on Egypt, ensuring they know YHWH is the LORD.[2][3][4]
