Ezekiel 29:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel caused his army to serve a great [a]service against Tyre: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was made bare: yet he had no wages, [b]nor his army for Tyre, for the service that he served against it.
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babel, and he shall take her multitude, and spoil her spoil, and take her prey, and it shall be the wages for his army.
20 I have given him the land of Egypt for his labor, that he served [c]against it, because they wrought [d]for me, saith the Lord God.

New International Version
18 “Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar(A) king of Babylon drove his army in a hard campaign against Tyre; every head was rubbed bare(B) and every shoulder made raw.(C) Yet he and his army got no reward from the campaign he led against Tyre. 19 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am going to give Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king(D) of Babylon, and he will carry off its wealth. He will loot and plunder(E) the land as pay for his army.(F) 20 I have given him Egypt(G) as a reward for his efforts because he and his army did it for me, declares the Sovereign Lord.(H)
