Commentary on
Ezekiel 30:20-26

Victory for Babylon

30:20  And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of Yehuveh came unto me, saying,
30:21  Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.
30:22  Therefore thus saith Yehuveh Elohim; Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
30:23  And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
30:24  And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaoh’s arms, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.
30:25  But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am Yehuveh, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.
30:26  And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries; and they shall know that I am Yehuveh.
