|
| Ezekiel 30:20 | And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
|
| Ezekiel 30:21 | 'Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it hath not been bound up to be healed, to put a roller, that it be bound up and wax strong, that it hold the sword.
|
| Ezekiel 30:22 | Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
|
| Ezekiel 30:23 | And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
|

|
| Ezekiel 30:25 | And I will hold up the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall put My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.
|
| Ezekiel 30:26 | And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries; and they shall know that I am the LORD.'
