to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in
the seventh day of the month, that the word of the Lord came, me,
saying:
30:21. Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharao king of Egypt: and
behold it is not bound up, to be healed, to be tied up with clothes, and
swathed with linen, that it might recover strength, and hold the sword.
30:22. Therefore, thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I come against Pharao
king of Egypt, and I will break into pieces his strong arm, which is
already broken: and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand:
30:23. And I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and scatter them
through the countries.
30:24. And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and will
put my sword in his hand: and I will break the arms of Pharao, and they
shall groan bitterly being slain before his face.
30:25. And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the

30:26. And I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and will scatter
them through the countries, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
