God continues speaking of the armies of Egypt and Babylon as if the armies were the arms of their kings. He also speaks of making the army of Babylon strong to attack others as if he had a sword and put it in the Babylonian king's hand. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parables]])

# while Pharaoh's arms will fall
