Ezekiel 30:19

17 The young men of On and Pi-beseth will fall by the sword, and those cities will go into captivity.

18 The day will be darkened in Tahpanhes when I break the yoke of Egypt and her proud strength comes to an end. A cloud will cover her, and her daughters will go into captivity.

So I will execute judgment on Egypt, and they will know that I am the LORD.”

20 In the eleventh year, on the seventh day of the first month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

21 “Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. See, it has not been bound up for healing, or splinted for strength to hold the sword.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
