     j "Son of man,  k I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and behold,  l it has not been bound up, to heal it by binding it with a bandage, so that it may become strong to wield the sword.
  
  
  
  22

    I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh shall fall.  r Then they shall know that I am the Lord,  s when I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he stretches it out against the land of Egypt.
  
  
  
  26
  
  
  
    And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them throughout the countries. Then they will know that I am the Lord."
