Ezekiel 29:10-12

Contemporary English Version

¹⁰ Now I am turning against you and your river. Your nation will be nothing but an empty wasteland all the way from the town of Migdol in the north to Aswan in the south, and as far as the border of Ethiopia.^{[a] 11} No human or animal will even dare travel through Egypt, because no sign of life will be found there for 40 years. ¹² It will be the most barren place on earth. Every city in Egypt will lie in ruins during those 40 years, and I will scatter your people throughout the nations of the world.
