Now in the ^(C1)twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

"Son of man, ^(C1)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made his army labor ^(F1)hard against Tyre; every head ^(F2)had a ^(C2)bald spot and every shoulder was rubbed raw. But he and his army acquired no wages from Tyre for the labor that he had ^(F3)performed against it."

Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: "Behold, I am going to ^(C1)give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. And he will carry off her ^(C2)wealth and capture her spoils and seize her plunder; and it will be wages for his army.

"I have given him the land of Egypt for his labor which he ^(F1)(C1)performed, because they acted for Me," declares the Lord GOD.

"On that day I will make a ^(C1)horn sprout for the house of Israel, and I will ^(F1)(C2)open your mouth among them. Then they will know that I am the LORD."
