"against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt.” The might of Egypt was but a broken reed. “All the inhabitants of Egypt,” Inspiration had declared, “shall know that I am the Lord, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.” “I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall put My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.” Ezekiel 29:3, 6 ; 30:25 .
