Context of Ezekiel 30:19
17The young men of Heliopolis and Bubastis will die in battle, and the women will be taken away as slaves. 18When I come to break the proud strength of Egypt, it will be a dark day for Tahpanhes, too. A dark cloud will cover Tahpanhes, and its daughters will be led away as captives. And so I will greatly punish Egypt, and they will know that I am the Lord.” 20On April 29, during the eleventh year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity, this message came to me from the Lord: 21“Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. His arm has not been put in a cast so that it may heal. Neither has it been bound up with a splint to make it strong enough to hold a sword.
