[verse 1] And the word of the Lord was maad [verse 2] to me, and he seide, Sone of man, profesie thou, and seie, The Lord God seith these [verse 3] thingis, Ȝelle ȝe, Wo! wo! to the dai, for the dai is niȝ; and the dai of the Lord neiȝith, the dai of a cloude. The tyme of [verse 4] hethene men schal be; and a swerd schal come in to Egipt, and drede schal be [not be A pr. m. CEFHI pr. m. K pr. m. MQSU.] in Ethiopie, whanne woundid men schulen falle doun in Egipt, and the multitude therof schal be takun awei, and the foun|dementis therof schulen be distried. [verse 5] Ethi|opie, and Libie, and Lidiens, and al the residue comyn puple, and Chub, and the sones of the lond of boond of pees schulen falle doun bi swerd with hem. [verse 6] The Lord God seith these thingis, And thei that vndursetten Egipt schulen falle doun, and the pride of the lordschipe therof schal be destried; fro the tour of Sienes thei schu|len falle bi swerd ther ynne, seith the Lord [Lord God A pr. m.] of oostis. [verse 7] And thei schulen be di|stried in the myddis of londis maad deso|lat, and the [Om. IN.] citees therof schulen be in

the myddis of citees forsakun. [verse 8] And thei schulen wite, that Y am the Lord God, whanne Y schal ȝyue fier in Egipt, and alle the helperis therof schulen be al to|brokun. [verse 9] In that dai messangeris schulen go out fro my face in schippis with thre ordris of ooris, to al to-breke the trist of Ethiopie; and drede schal be in hem in the dai of Egipt, for with out doute it schal come. [verse 10] The Lord God seith these thingis, And I schal make to ceesse the multitude of Egipt in the hond of Nabu|godonosor, king of Babiloyne. [verse 11] He and his puple with hym, the strongeste men of hethene men, schulen be brouȝt, to leese the lond; and thei schulen drawe out her swerdis on Egipt, and thei schulen fille the lond with slayn men. [verse 12] And Y schal make drie the botmes of floodis, and Y schal ȝyue the lond in the hond of the worste men; and I schal distrie the lond, and the fulnesse therof in the hond of aliens; Y the Lord spak. [verse 13] The Lord God seith these thingis, And Y schal leese simylacris, and Y shal make idols to ceesse fro Memphis, and a duyk of the lond of Egipt schal no more be. And Y schal ȝyue [verse 14] drede in the lond of Egipt, and Y schal leese the lond of Phatures. And Y schal ȝyue fier in Tafnys, and Y schal make my [Om. A sec. m.] domes in Alisaundre. [verse 15] And Y schal schede out myn indignacioun on Pelusyum, the strengthe of Egipt; and Y schal sle [verse 16] the multitude of Alisaundre, and Y schal ȝyue fier in Egipt. Pelusyum, as a wom|man trauelynge of child, schal haue so|rewe, and Alisaundre schal be destried, and in Memphis schulen be ech daies an|gwischis [anguish N.] . [verse 17] The ȝonge men of Heliopoleos and of Bubasti schulen falle doun bi swerd, and tho citees schulen be led caitifs. [verse 18] And in Thafnys the dai schal wexe blak, whanne Y schal al to-breke there the ceptris of Egipt, and the pride of the power therof schal faile there ynne. A cloude schal hile it; forsothe the douȝ|tris

therof schulen be led in to caitifte, [verse 19] and Y schal make domes in Egipt; and thei schulen wite, that Y am the Lord [Lord God NS sec. m.] . [verse 20] And it was doon in the enleuenthe ȝeer, in the firste monethe, in the seuenthe dai of the moneth, the word of the Lord was [verse 21] maad to me, and he seide, Thou sone of man, Y haue broke the arm of Farao, kyng of Egipt; and lo! it is not wlappid, that helthe schulde be restorid therto, that it schulde be boundun with clothis, and woundun with lynnun clothis, and that he [it I.] myȝte holde swerd, whanne he hadde resseyued strengthe. [verse 22] Therfor the Lord God seith these thingis, Lo! Y to Farao, king of Egipt; and [Om. IN.] Y schal make lesse his strong arm but brokun, and Y schal caste doun the swerd fro his hond. [verse 23] And Y schal scatere Egipt among hethene men, and Y schal wyndewe hem in londis. [verse 24] And Y schal coumforte the armes of the kyng of Babiloyne, and Y schal ȝyue my swerd in the hond of hym; and Y schal breke the armes of Farao, and men slayn bifore his face schulen weile bi weilyngis. [verse 25] And Y schal coumforte the armes of the kyng of Babiloyne, and the armes of Farao schulen falle doun. And thei schulen wite, that Y am the Lord, whanne Y schal ȝyue my swerd in the hond of the kyng of Ba|biloyne; and he schal stretche forth it on the lond of Egipt. [verse 26] And Y schal scatere Egipt in to naciouns, and Y schal wyn|dewe hem in to londis; and thei schulen wite, that Y am the Lord.
