Proclamation Against Pharaoh

20 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
21 “Son of man, I have abroken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and see, bit has not been bandaged for healing, nor a1 splint put on to bind it, to make it strong enough to hold a sword.  
22 Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Surely I am aagainst Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will bbreak his arms, both the strong one and the one that was broken; and I will make the sword fall out of his hand.  
23 aI will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them throughout the countries.  
24 I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put My sword in his hand; but I will break Pharaoh’s arms, and he will groan before him with the groanings of a mortally wounded man.
25 Thus I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; athey 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.  
26 aI will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them throughout the countries. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.’ ”

Ezekiel 30:20-26

Fourth prophecy against Egypt spoken three months before the capture of Jerusalem Ezekiel 26:1, and three months after the prophecy of Ezekiel 29:1. Meantime, Pharaoh-Hophra' s attempt on Jerusalem had been foiled, and the Egyptians driven back into their own country (Jeremiah 37:5 note).

Ezekiel 30:21

I have broken - Especially by the defeat at Carchemish.

A roller - Or, a bandage.

Ezekiel 30:22

The strong - Such power as Egypt yet retained at home and abroad.

That which was broken - The power which Egypt aimed at ineffectually, the conquest of Palestine and Syria.
