Ezekiel 29:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 ¶ In the [a]seven and twentieth year also in the first month, and in the first day of the month, came the word of the Lord unto me, saying,
18 Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel caused his army to serve a great [b]service against Tyre: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was made bare: yet he had no wages, [c]nor his army for Tyre, for the service that he served against it.
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babel, and he shall take her multitude, and spoil her spoil, and take her prey, and it shall be the wages for his army.
