“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.”
The timing matters greatly: sixteen years pass between the first word against Egypt and this one, while Nebuchadnezzar wears himself out thirteen years at Tyre. God uses that delay to ripen Egypt's weakness through their own wars, then rewards the king's costly labor with a land that falls easily into his hands as spoil.

Commenting on Ezekiel 29:17-21
When Egypt falls, Israel rises, for God kept covenant. The horn budding forth speaks first to the captives' return under Zerubbabel, but ultimately to Christ, the Horn of salvation promised to David, in Whom the kingdom flowers spiritually. My fulfilled words will prove I spoke for the Lord.
AI summary
Egypt's destruction is Israel's signal to revive. When my predictions come to pass, my tongue gains weight among you; you will hear me because you see God Himself accomplishing what He spoke through me. That vindication is the earnest of Israel's full glory under Messiah.
