Ezekiel 30:24

And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaoh’s arms, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.

Cross-reference

Ezekiel 30:25 reiterates God strengthening Babylon's arms and breaking Pharaoh's — the same dual action as 30:24.

Ezekiel 30:10 states God will end Egypt by Babylon's hand — here strengthens Babylon's arms and breaks Pharaoh's, reinforcing the same prophecy.

Ezekiel 30:21 describes God breaking Pharaoh's arm — here both arms broken while Babylon's are strengthened, continuing the metaphor.

Isaiah 10:5 Parallel

In Isaiah 10:5, Assyria is the rod of God's anger—similarly, Babylon here is God's sword against Egypt, both instruments of divine judgment.

Isaiah 10:6 Parallel

In Isaiah 10:6, God sends Assyria against a godless nation—the same commissioning of a foreign power as here with Babylon against Egypt.

Isaiah 45:1 Parallel

In Isaiah 45:1, God holds Cyrus's right hand to subdue nations — the same pattern of God strengthening a pagan king as His instrument of judgment.

Isaiah 45:5 Parallel

In Isaiah 45:5, God girds Cyrus though he does not know Him — parallel to God arming Babylon, showing God's sovereign use of ungodly rulers.

In Jeremiah 27:6-8, God gives all lands into Nebuchadnezzar's hand as His servant, with sword and punishment — directly the same context of Babylon's commission.

In Isaiah 10:15, the axe cannot boast over the one who wields it—the same principle applies to Babylon as God's sword here; the instrument remains subordinate.
