Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and see, it has not been bound up for healing, nor a bandage set to bind it, to make it strong to hold a sword.

I will scatter Egypt among the nations, and disperse them throughout the earth.

Truly I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny.
