EZEKIEL 30:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.”
And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries; 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, contrasting the scattering of Egypt with the strengthening of Babylon, establishing a reversal where Egypt's power becomes Babylon's. The image of Pharaoh groaning 'like a man mortally wounded' before Nebuchadnezzar emphasizes utter defeat and humiliation.
