²¹ ‘Son of man, I have broken the arm^(A) of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Look, it has not been bandaged – no medicine has been applied and no splint put on to bandage it so that it can grow strong enough to handle a sword. ²² Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: Look! I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt. I will break his arms, both the strong one and the one already broken, and will make the sword fall from his hand. ²³ I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them among the countries.^{(B) 24} I will strengthen the arms of Babylon’s king and place my sword^(C) in his hand. But I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he will groan before him as a mortally wounded man.
