Ezekiel 30:20-22

Contemporary English Version

Egypt's King Is Powerless

²⁰ Eleven years after King Jehoiachin and the rest of us had been led away as prisoners to Babylonia, the Lord spoke to me on the seventh day of the first month.^[a] He said:

I broke his arm, and no one has wrapped it or put it in a sling, so that it could heal and get strong enough to hold a sword. ²² So tell him that I am now his worst enemy. I will break both his arms—the good one and the broken one! His sword will drop from his hand forever,
