Was there a biblical prophet whos position was validated by the fall of Egypt?
score:2
Accepted answer
There's more than one:
Isaiah (chs. 30-31) criticizes the Israelian and Judean rulers of his time for trying to ally with Egypt against Assyria, and predicts that these efforts will end in failure.
Hosea, a contemporary of Isaiah, also criticizes them for vacillating between Assyria and Egypt (7:11 and 12:2).
Jeremiah (about a century later, when Assyria had been conquered and Babylon was the new northern superpower) speaks of how it's useless to ally with Egypt, how doing so will prove to be fruitless, and specifically that the Egyptian army, on its way to relieving the Babylonian siege of Jerusalem, won't follow through and will return home (2:18,36, and 37:5ff).
Ezekiel (a younger contemporary of Jeremiah) focuses on Zedekiah's perfidy in attempting to ally with Egypt after having sworn allegiance to Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon (ch. 17, particularly v. 15).
