Ezekiel 29:20 in Context — Ezekiel 29

18 Fils de l’homme, Nebucadnetsar, roi de Babylone, A fait faire à son armée un service pénible contre Tyr; Toutes les têtes sont chauves, toutes les épaules sont écorchées; Et il n’a retiré de Tyr aucun salaire, ni lui, ni son armée, Pour le service qu’il a fait contre elle.

19 C’est pourquoi ainsi parle le Seigneur, l’Éternel: Voici, je donne à Nebucadnetsar, roi de Babylone, Le pays d’Égypte; Il en emportera les richesses, Il en prendra les dépouilles, Il en pillera le butin; Ce sera un salaire pour son armée.

20 Pour prix du service qu’il a fait contre Tyr, Je lui donne le pays d’Égypte; Car ils ont travaillé pour moi, Dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel.

21 En ce jour-là, je donnerai de la force à la maison d’Israël, Et je t’ouvrirai la bouche au milieu d’eux; Et ils sauront que je suis l’Éternel.
