Ezekiel 29:10-12

International Standard Version

¹⁰ therefore watch out! I’m coming to get^[a] you! I’m going to attack your waterways, and then I’m going to make the land of Egypt a total wasteland from the Aswan^[b] fortress to the border of Ethiopia!^{[c] 11} Neither man nor beast will walk through that area. It won’t even be inhabited for 40 years. ¹² I’ll see to it that Egypt becomes a devastated land in the midst of devastated lands. Her cities deep inside her territories will be laid waste and desolate for 40 years. I will scatter Egypt among the nations and disperse them throughout the land.’”
