3 For the day is near, the day of the LORD is near; it will be a day of clouds, a time of doom for the nations.

15 Pour my wrath on Pelusium, Egypt's fort, and knock Thebes off its proud pedestal.

20 In the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me:
20 In the eleventh year, on the seventh day of the first month, God's Message came to me:
21 "Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and behold, 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.
21 "Son of man, I've broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And look! It hasn't been set. No splint has been put on it so the bones can knit and heal, so he can use a sword again.
22 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt and will break his arms, both the strong arm and the one that was broken, and I will make the sword fall from his hand.
22 "Therefore, God, the Master, says, I am dead set against Pharaoh king of Egypt and will go ahead and break his other arm - both arms broken! There's no way he'll ever swing a sword again.
23 I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them through the countries.
23 I'll scatter Egyptians all over the world.
24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put my sword in his hand, but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he will groan before him like a man mortally wounded.
24 I'll make the arms of the king of Babylon strong and put my sword in his hand, but I'll break the arms of Pharaoh and he'll groan like one who is mortally wounded.
25 I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh shall fall. Then they shall know that I am the LORD, when I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he stretches it out against the land of Egypt.
25 I'll make the arms of the king of Babylon strong, but the arms of Pharaoh shall go limp. The Egyptians will realize that I am God when I place my sword in the hand of the king of Babylon. He'll wield it against Egypt
26 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them throughout the countries. Then they will know that I am the LORD."
26 and I'll scatter Egyptians all over the world. Then they'll realize that I am God."
