Thus I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall; and 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, reiterating the contrast between Babylon's strengthening and Egypt's weakening, with the recognition formula affirming that this reversal of fortunes reveals God's sovereignty.
