Ezekiel 29:16-18
New English Translation
16 It will never again be Israel’s source of confidence, but a reminder of how they sinned by turning to Egypt for help.[a] Then they will know that I am the Sovereign Lord.’”
17 In the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first day of the month,[b] the Lord’s message came to me: 18 “Son of man, King Nebuchadrezzar[c] of Babylon made his army labor hard against Tyre.[d] Every head was rubbed bald and every shoulder rubbed bare; yet he and his army received no wages from Tyre for the work he carried out against it.
