Ezekiel 29:10-12

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁰ Therefore, behold I come against thee, and thy rivers: and I will make the land of Egypt utterly desolate, and wasted by the sword, from the tower of Syene, even to the borders of Ethiopia.

¹¹ The foot of man shall not pass through it, neither shall the foot of beasts go through it: nor shall it be inhabited during forty years.

¹² And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the lands that are desolate, and the cities thereof in the midst of the cities that are destroyed, and they shall be desolate for forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
