¹⁷ Now in the ^(A)twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me saying, ¹⁸ “Son of man, ^(B)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made his military force ^[a]labor hard against Tyre; every head was made ^(C)bald, and every shoulder was rubbed bare. But he and his military force had no wages from Tyre for the ^[b]labor that he had ^[c]labored against it.” ¹⁹ Therefore thus says Lord Yahweh, “Behold, I ^(D)will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. And he will carry off her ^[d](E)abundance and capture her spoil and seize her plunder; and it will be wages for his military force. ²⁰ I have given him the land of Egypt for his work which he ^[e](F)labored because they acted for Me,” declares Lord Yahweh.

²¹ “On that day I will make a ^(G)horn sprout for the house of Israel, and I will ^[f](H)open your mouth in their midst. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.”
