17. On the first day of the first month of the twenty-seventh year, the word of Adonai came to me saying:
18. “Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made his army labor hard against Tyre. Every head became bald and every shoulder chafed. But he and his army had no profit from Tyre for the labor that he had expended against it.”
19. Therefore thus says Adonai Elohim: “Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. He will carry off her abundance, take her spoil and take her prey. It will be the wages for his army.
20. I have given him the land of Egypt as his wages for which he served, because they worked for Me.” It is a declaration of Adonai.
21. “In that day I will cause a horn to shoot up for the house of Israel. I will open your mouth among them. They will know that I am Adonai.”
