Ezekiel 29:10-12

New English Translation

¹⁰ I am against^[a] you and your waterways. I will turn the land of Egypt into an utter desolate ruin from Migdol^[b] to Syene,^[c] as far as the border with Ethiopia. ¹¹ No human foot will pass through it, and no animal’s foot will pass through it; it will be uninhabited for forty years. ¹² I will turn the land of Egypt into a desolation in the midst of desolate lands; for forty years her cities will lie desolate in the midst of ruined cities. I will scatter Egypt among the nations and disperse them among foreign countries.
