20 On the seventh day of the first month in the eleventh year, the LORD spoke his word to me. He said,

21 "Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh, king of Egypt. His arm isn't bandaged, so it can't heal and be strong enough to hold a sword.

22 "This is what the Almighty LORD says: I'm against Pharaoh, king of Egypt. I will break both his arms, the healthy one and the broken one. I will make the sword fall from his hand.

23 I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and force them into other countries.

26 I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and force them into other countries. Then they will know that I am the LORD."

8 Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I set fire to Egypt and all her helpers are crushed.
