Ezekiel 30:20-26

20In the 1eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

21“Son of man, I have 2broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, behold, it has not been 3bound up 4for healing 5or wrapped with a bandage, so that it may be strong to wield the sword.

22Therefore this is what the Lord God says: ‘Behold, I am 6against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and I will break his arms, both the strong and the 7broken; and I will make the sword 8fall from his hand.

23And I will 9scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands.

24For I will 10strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put 11My sword in his hand; and I will break the arms of Pharaoh, so that he will groan before him with the groans of a wounded man.

25So I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh will fail. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I put My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he 12reaches out with it against the land of Egypt.

26When I scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands, then they will know that I am the Lord.’”
