“Therefore,
Thus says Yahweh God!
‘I am against Pharaoh,
King of Egypt.
I will break
His arms,
Both the strong arm
With the one
That was broken.
I will make
The sword
Fall
From his hand.’”
Yahweh, via Ezekiel, was clearly against Pharaoh. He was going to break both his arms, the one already broken as well as the good one. Thus the king of Egypt would not be able to hold a sword in his hand since he would become ineffective.
