In the twenty-seventh year, in the first month on the first day, the word of the Lord came to me:
In the twenty-seventh year, in the first month on the first day, the word of the Lord came to me:
In the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:
“Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon drove his army in a hard campaign against Tyre; every head was rubbed bare and every shoulder made raw. Yet he and his army got no reward from the campaign he led against Tyre.
“Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made his army labor hard against Tyre. Every head was made bald, and every shoulder was rubbed bare, yet neither he nor his army got anything from Tyre to pay for the labor that he had performed against her.

I have given him Egypt as a reward for his efforts because he and his army did it for me, declares the Sovereign Lord.
I have given him the land of Egypt as his payment for which he labored, because they worked for me, declares the Lord God.
