Ezekiel 29:8-12

8Therefore thus says the Lord God: aBehold, I will bring a sword upon you, and will cut off from you man and beast, 9and the land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste. bThen they will know that I am the Lord.

cBecause you
Hebrew he
said, ‘The Nile is mine, and I made it,’
10therefore, ebehold, I am against you and fagainst your streams, and gI will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, hfrom Migdol to Syene, as far as the border of Cush. 11 iNo foot of man shall pass through it, and no foot of beast shall pass through it; it shall be uninhabited forty years. 12 jAnd I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of desolated countries, and her cities shall be a desolation forty years among cities that are laid waste. kI will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries.
