18 “Son of man, (A)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made his army labor (a)hard against Tyre; every head was made (B)bald and every shoulder was rubbed bare. But he and his army had no wages from Tyre for the labor that he had (b)performed against it.” 19 Therefore thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I (C)will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. And he will carry off her (c)(D)wealth and capture her spoil and seize her plunder; and it will be wages for his army. 20 I have given him the land of Egypt for his labor which he (d)(E)performed, because they acted for Me,” declares the Lord God.
