Ezekiel 29:19-21
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

19 Therefore thus says the Lord God:(A) See! I am giving to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, the land of Egypt! He will carry off its wealth, plundering and pillaging whatever he can find to provide pay for his army. 20 As payment for his toil I give him the land of Egypt—oracle of the Lord God.

21 On that day I will make a horn[a] sprout for the house of Israel, and I will let you again open your mouth in their midst; then they shall know that I am the Lord.(B)

Footnotes

  1. 29:21 A horn: God will give Israel renewed strength. For horn as a symbol of strength, cf. Dt 33:17; Ps 92:11; 132:17. Ezekiel suggests that the Babylonian conquest of Egypt precedes Israel’s restoration, an event he expects to witness and acknowledge when God removes his muteness.
