Ezekiel 30:20-26
1599 Geneva Bible
20 ¶ And in the [a]eleventh year, in the first month, and in the seventh day of the month, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
21 Son of man, [b]I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt: and lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, neither shall they put a roll to bind it, and so make it strong to hold the sword.
22 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I come against Pharaoh King of Egypt, and will break [c]his arm that was strong, but is broken, and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
23 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
24 And I will strengthen the arm of the king of Babel, and put my sword in his hand, but I will break Pharaoh’s arms, and he shall cast out sighings, as the sighings of him that is wounded before him.
25 But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babel, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down, and they shall know, that I am the Lord, [d]when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babel, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.
26 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries, and they shall know, that I am the Lord.
