17 Now in the (A)twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 18 “Son of man, (B)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made his army labor [a]hard against Tyre; every head [b]had a (C)bald spot and every shoulder was rubbed raw. But he and his army acquired no wages from Tyre for the labor that he had [c]performed against it.” 19 Therefore this is what the Lord God says: “Behold, I am going to (D)give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. And he will carry off her (E)wealth and capture her spoils and seize her plunder; and it will be wages for his army. 20 I have given him the land of Egypt for his labor which he [d](F)performed, because they acted for Me,” declares the Lord God.

21 “On that day I will make a (G)horn sprout for the house of Israel, and I will [e](H)open your mouth among them. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
