EZEKIEL 29:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.”
I have given him the land of Egypt as his recompense for which he labored, because he labored for me, declares the Lord God, emphasizing that Nebuchadnezzar's labor, though directed against Tyre, served God's purposes and thus merits divine reward. The phrase 'he labored for me' suggests that even military campaigns undertaken for human political purposes ultimately serve God's will when they align with divine judgment.
