23. I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, spreading them among the countries.
24. I will make the arms of the king of Babylon strong and put my sword in his hand. But I will break the arms of the king of Egypt. Then when he faces the king of Babylon, he will cry out in pain like a dying person.
25. So I will make the arms of the king of Babylon strong, but the arms of the king of Egypt will fall. Then people will know that I am the Lord when I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he uses it in war against Egypt.
26. Then I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, spreading them among the countries. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
