Ezekiel 29:20 in Context — Ezekiel 29

18 Hijo del hombre, Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia hizo á su ejército prestar grande servicio contra Tiro. Toda cabeza se encalveció, y pelóse todo hombro; y ni para él ni para su ejército hubo paga de Tiro, por el servicio que prestó contra ella.

19 Por tanto, así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: He aquí que yo doy á Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, la tierra de Egipto; y él tomará su multitud, y cogerá sus despojos, y arrebatará su presa, y habrá paga para su ejército.

20 Por su trabajo con que sirvió contra ella le he dado la tierra de Egipto: porque trabajaron por mí, dice el Señor Jehová.

21 En aquel tiempo haré reverdecer el cuerno á la casa de Israel, y te daré apertura de boca en medio de ellos; y sabrán que yo soy Jehová.
