EZEKIEL 29:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served against it:”
Therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and he shall carry off its wealth and despoil it and plunder it; and it shall be the wages for his army, offering compensation to Nebuchadnezzar for his fruitless labor against Tyre by granting him Egypt instead. This divine recompense demonstrates that although human military effort may not immediately succeed, God ensures that faithful service (in executing divine judgment) will be rewarded. The spoils of Egypt become the 'wages' for an army that received nothing from Tyre.
