21 “Son of man, I have broken the arm(A) of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Look, it has not been bandaged—no medicine has been applied and no splint put on to bandage it so that it can grow strong enough to handle a sword. 22 Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: Look! I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt. I will break his arms, both the strong one and the one already broken, and will make the sword fall from his hand. 23 I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them among the countries.(B) 24 I will strengthen the arms of Babylon’s king and place my sword(C) in his hand. But I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he will groan before him as a mortally wounded man.
