Ezekiel 29:18-20

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁸ Son of man, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon hath made his army to undergo hard service against Tyre: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: and there hath been no reward given him, nor his army for Tyre, for the service that he rendered me against it.

¹⁹ Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will set Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon in the land of Egypt: and he shall take her multitude, and take the booty thereof for a prey, and rifle the spoils thereof: and it shall be wages for his army.

²⁰ And for the service that he hath done me against it: I have given him the land of Egypt, because he hath laboured for me, saith the Lord God.
