Foot of man

This is what the Lord Jehovah says: I will use King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon to bring an end to Egypt.

Alien tyrants of the nations have cut it down and left it. On the mountains and in all the valleys its branches have fallen and its boughs have been broken in all the ravines of the land. All the peoples of the earth have gone down from its shade and left it.

I will also destroy all the animals beside its many water sources. The feet of humans and the hoofs of animals will not stir up the water anymore.'

I will turn the land into a barren wasteland. People will no longer brag about its power. The mountains of Israel will become so ruined that no one will travel through them.

Then you will live in the land that I gave your ancestors. You will be my people, and I will be your God.'

He will defeat Egypt. He will bring death to those who are supposed to die. He will capture those who are supposed to be captured. He will kill in battle those who are supposed to be killed in battle.

This fulfilled the word of Jehovah that was spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its Sabbaths. All the days of its desolation it kept Sabbath until seventy years were complete.

Now in that day Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years like the lifespan of one king. At the end of seventy years it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the prostitute:

This whole land will be ruined and become a wasteland. These nations will serve the king of Babylon for seventy years.'

This is what Jehovah says: 'When Babylon's seventy years are over I will come to you. I will keep my promise to you and bring you back to this place.

It was the first year of his reign. I, Daniel, understood from The Books (Holy Scriptures) the number of the years in the word of Jehovah to Jeremiah the prophet. It was seventy years since the destruction of Jerusalem.
