Ezekiel 29:17-21
New American Standard Bible
17 Now in the (A)twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 18 “Son of man, (B)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made his army labor [a]hard against Tyre; every head [b]had a (C)bald spot and every shoulder was rubbed raw. But he and his army acquired no wages from Tyre for the labor that he had [c]performed against it.” 19 Therefore this is what the Lord God says: “Behold, I am going to (D)give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. And he will carry off her (E)wealth and capture her spoils and seize her plunder; and it will be wages for his army. 20 I have given him the land of Egypt for his labor which he [d](F)performed, because they acted for Me,” declares the Lord God.
21 “On that day I will make a (G)horn sprout for the house of Israel, and I will [e](H)open your mouth among them. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”

Revised Standard Version
Babylonia Will Plunder Egypt
17 In the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me: 18 “Son of man, Nebuchadrez′zar king of Babylon made his army labor hard against Tyre; every head was made bald and every shoulder was rubbed bare; yet neither he nor his army got anything from Tyre to pay for the labor that he had performed against it. 19 Therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadrez′zar king of Babylon; and he shall carry off its wealth[a] and despoil it and plunder it; and it shall be the wages for his army. 20 I have given him the land of Egypt as his recompense for which he labored, because they worked for me, says the Lord God.
21 “On that day I will cause a horn to spring forth to the house of Israel, and I will open your lips among them. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
