Ezekiel 30:20–26

Pharaoh’s Arms Are Broken

20 In the eleventh year, in the first month on the seventh day, the word of the Lord came to me:u 21 “Son of man, I have broken the armv of Pharaohw king of Egypt. It has not been bound up to be healedx or put in a splint so that it may become strong enough to hold a sword. 22 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt.y I will break both his arms, the good arm as well as the broken one, and make the sword fall from his hand.z 23 I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them through the countries.a 24 I will strengthenb the arms of the king of Babylon and put my swordc in his hand, but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he will groand before him like a mortally wounded man. 25 I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh will fall limp. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I put my sworde into the hand of the king of Babylon and he brandishes it against Egypt.f 26 I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them through the countries. Then they will know that I am the Lord.g”
