Ezekiel 29:20 in Context — Ezekiel 29
18 Filho do homem, Nabucodonosor rei da Babilônia mobilizou seu exército para uma grande campanha contra Tiro. Toda cabeça se tornou calva, e todo ombro se despelou; porém não houve ganho para ele nem para seu exército pela campanha que executou contra ela.
19 Portanto assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Eis que eu darei a Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, a terra do Egito; e ele levará sua riqueza, tomará seus despojos, e saqueará sua presa, e [isto] será o ganho para seu exército.
20 Como pagamento por seu trabalho que executou contra ela, eu lhe dei a terra do Egito; porque trabalharam por mim,diz o Senhor DEUS.
21 Naquele dia farei crescer o poder da casa de Israel, e te darei abertura de boca no meio deles; e saberão que eu sou o SENHOR.
