¹⁷ Now in the ^(A)twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ¹⁸ “Son of man, ^(B)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made his army labor ^[a]hard against Tyre; every head ^[b]had a ^(C)bald spot and every shoulder was rubbed raw. But he and his army acquired no wages from Tyre for the labor that he had ^[c]performed against it.” ¹⁹ Therefore this is what the Lord God says: “Behold, I am going to ^(D)give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. And he will carry off her ^(E)wealth and capture her spoils and seize her plunder; and it will be wages for his army.
