17
The young men of Aven and of Pi-Veset shall fall by the sword; and these [cities] shall go into captivity.
18
At Techafneches also the day shall withdraw itself, when I shall break there the yokes of Mitzrayim, and the pride of her power shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.
19
Thus will I execute judgments on Mitzrayim; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
20
It happened in the eleventh year, in the first [month], in the seventh [day] of the month, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
21
Son of man, I have broken the arm of Par`oh king of Mitzrayim; and, behold, it has not been bound up, to apply [healing] medicines, to put a bandage to bind it, that it be strong to hold the sword.
22
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against Par`oh king of Mitzrayim, and will break his arms, the strong [arm], and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
23
I will scatter the Mitzrim among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
24
I will strengthen the arms of the king of Bavel, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break the arms of Par`oh, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.
25
I will hold up the arms of the king of Bavel; and the arms of Par`oh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Bavel, and he shall stretch it out on the land of Mitzrayim.
26
I will scatter the Mitzrim among the nations, and disperse them through the countries; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
