29:17 二十七年正月初一日，耶和華的話臨到我說：
29:18 「人子啊，巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒使他的軍兵大大效勞，攻打泰爾，以致頭都光禿，肩都磨破；然而他和他的軍兵攻打泰爾，並沒有從那裡得甚麼酬勞。
29:19 所以主耶和華如此說：我必將埃及地賜給巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒；他必擄掠埃及群眾，搶其中的財為擄物，奪其中的貨為掠物，這就可以作他軍兵的酬勞。
29:20 我將埃及地賜給他，酬他所效的勞，因王與軍兵是為我勤勞。這是主耶和華說的。
29:21 「當那日，我必使以色列家的角發生，又必使你─以西結在他們中間得以開口；他們就知道我是耶和華。」
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
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. Therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, I
will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and he shall
carry off its wealth and despoil it and plunder it; and it shall be the wages
for his army. I have given him the land
of Egypt as his payment for which he labored, because they worked for me,
declares the Lord God.
“On
that day I will cause a horn to spring up for the house of Israel, and I will
open your lips among them. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”

先知在這裡說埃及成了巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒的獎賞，表示埃及終會被尼布甲尼撒打敗，使以色列人知道：以西結真的是上帝所差派之先知，進而願意聆聽他所傳講的信息。
其實我們蒙召傳講上帝的話，上帝一定與我們同在，讓人知道我們所傳講的不是出於自己，而是出於上帝。不在乎我們的口才，而在乎我們是否忠心傳講上帝的話，使人產生對上帝的信心，然後專一倚靠上帝。
今天教會的講道者，一定要以先知的心志來宣講信息，使人在基督裡得真正的信心，而成為一個對上帝國的時限有盼望的人，因為現在是末世了，耶穌基督快再來，上帝國要實現了！
