EZEKIEL 30:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of the wicked: and I will make the land waste, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I the Lord have spoken it.”
And I will dry up the streams, and will make the land waste, and full of desolation, by the hand of foreigners; I the Lord have spoken, introducing the cosmic judgment: not merely military destruction but environmental devastation, with the drying up of streams suggesting that the Nile itself—source of Egypt's life and power—will be destroyed. The drying of waters echoes creation accounts where cosmic waters are separated; here, reversal of creation symbolizes judgment. The closing formula affirms divine certainty.
