Ezekiel 29:12
_ _ As Israel passed through a term of wilderness discipline (compare Ezekiel 20:35, etc.), which was in its essential features to be repeated again, so it was to be with Egypt [Fairbairn]. Some Egyptians were to be carried to Babylon, also many “scattered” in Arabia and Ethiopia through fear; but mainly the “scattering” was to be the dissipation of their power, even though the people still remained in their own land. |

Jeremiah 27:6-11 And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him. ...
