Verse 20 is found in chapter 29 of Ezekiel. The prophecy against Egypt is connected with Nebuchadnezzar’s work and with the recognition that God had given him a military task. The Lord announces that he will give Ezekiel the ability to speak again. Historical fulfillment remains subordinate to the theological purpose of revealing divine sovereignty.
