Babylon Receives Egypt as Compensation

¹⁷ In the twenty-seventh year in the first month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me: ¹⁸ “Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made his army labor strenuously against Tyre.^(A) Every head was made bald and every shoulder chafed, but he and his army received no compensation from Tyre for the labor he expended against it. ¹⁹ Therefore this is what the Lord God says: I am going to give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon,^(B) who will carry off its wealth, seizing its spoil and taking its plunder. This will be his army’s compensation.
