¹⁷ And then^[a] in the twenty-seventh year,^[b] in the first month, on the first day of the month, the word of Yahweh came^[c] to me, saying,^{[d] 18} “Son of man,^[e] Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, he made his army labor hard against Tyre. Every head was rubbed bare, and every shoulder was rubbed raw, but^[f] a wage was not paid for him and for his army from Tyre for the labor that he did against it.” ¹⁹ Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am giving to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon the land of Egypt, and he will carry its wealth away, and he will plunder its plunder, and he will loot its loot, and it will be a wage for his army. ²⁰ As his wages that he worked for, I will give to him the land of Egypt, because they worked for me,” declares^[g] the Lord Yahweh.

²¹ “On that day I will cause power^[h] to grow up for the house of Israel, and for you I will give an opening of your mouth in the midst of them, and they will know that I am Yahweh.”
