9 I am sending for all the families of the north,”+ declares Jehovah, “sending for King Neb·u·chad·nezʹzar* of Babylon, my servant,+ and I will bring them against this land+ and against its inhabitants and against all these surrounding nations.+ I will devote them to destruction and make them an object of horror and something to whistle at and a perpetual ruin.

6 And now I have given all these lands into the hand of my servant King Neb·u·chad·nezʹzar+ of Babylon; even the wild beasts of the field I have given him to serve him.

19 “Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says, ‘Here I am giving the land of Egypt to King Neb·u·chad·nezʹzar* of Babylon,+ and he will carry off its wealth and take much spoil and plunder from it; and it will become wages for his army.’

20 “‘As compensation for his labor against her,* I will give him the land of Egypt because they acted for me,’+ declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah.
