Yahweh Scatters the Egyptians
20 In the (A)eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me saying, 21 “Son of man, I have (B)broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and behold, it has not been (C)bound up to be given healing [a]or wrapped with a bandage, that it may be strong to seize the sword. 22 Therefore thus says Lord Yahweh, ‘Behold, I am (D)against Pharaoh king of Egypt and will break his arms, both the strong and the (E)broken; and I will make the sword (F)fall from his hand. 23 I will (G)scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands. 24 For I will (H)strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put (I)My sword in his hand; and I will break the arms of Pharaoh so that he will groan before him with the groanings of a wounded man. 25 Thus I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh will fall. Then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I put My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he (J)stretches it out against the land of Egypt. 26 When I scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands, then they will know that I am Yahweh.’”

New King James Version
Proclamation Against Pharaoh
20 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 21 “Son of man, I have (A)broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and see, (B)it has not been bandaged for healing, nor a [a]splint put on to bind it, to make it strong enough to hold a sword. 22 Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Surely I am (C)against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will (D)break his arms, both the strong one and the one that was broken; and I will make the sword fall out of his hand. 23 (E)I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them throughout the countries. 24 I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put My sword in his hand; but I will break Pharaoh’s arms, and he will groan before him with the groanings of a mortally wounded man. 25 Thus I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; (F)they shall know that I am the Lord, when I put My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he stretches it out against the land of Egypt. 26 (G)I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them throughout the countries. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.’ ”
