Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Howl ye, Woe worth the day!

And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in No.

EZEKIEL 30:20

Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.

EZEKIEL 30:21

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
