²⁰ And then^[a] in the eleventh^[b] year, in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, the word of Yahweh came^[c] to me, saying,^{[d] 21} “Son of man,^[e] the arm of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, I have broken. And look, it has not been bound up for giving of a remedy, or for the placing of a splint to bind it up to make it strong to take hold of the sword.” ²² Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and I will break his strong arm and the broken arm, and I will let the sword fall from his hand. ²³ And I will scatter Egypt among the nations, and I will disperse them among the countries. ²⁴ And I will strengthen the arm of the king of Babylon, and I will give my sword into his hand, and I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he will groan with the groaning of the mortally wounded before him.^{[f] 25} And I will strengthen the arm of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh will fall. And they will know that I am Yahweh when I give my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will stretch it out to the land of Egypt. ²⁶ And I will scatter Egypt among the nations, and I will disperse them into the countries, and they will know that I am Yahweh.”
