Ezekiel 30:21-25

Egypt Shall Fall to Babylon

21 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 Therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt and m will break his arms, both the strong arm and the one that was broken, and I will make the sword fall from his hand. 23 n I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them through the countries. 24 And o I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put p my sword in his hand, but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he will groan before him q like a man mortally wounded. 25 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.
