18. At Tehaphnehes also the day will withdraw itself,when I break the yokes of Egypt, there.The pride of her power will cease in her.As for her, a cloud will cover her,and her daughters will go into captivity.
19. Thus I will execute judgements on Egypt.Then they will know that I am the Lord.”’”
20. In the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, the Lord’s word came to me, saying,
21. “Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Behold, it has not been bound up, to apply medicines, to put a bandage to bind it, that it become strong to hold the sword.
22. Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: ‘Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong arm, and that which was broken. I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
23. I will scatter the Egyptians amongst the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
24. I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand; but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he will groan before the king of Babylon with the groaning of a mortally wounded man.
25. I will hold up the arms of the king of Babylon; and the arms of Pharaoh will fall down. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he stretches it out on the land of Egypt.
26. I will scatter the Egyptians amongst the nations, and disperse them through the countries. Then they will know that I am the Lord.’”
