Ezekiel 29:11-13

New International Reader's Version

¹¹ No people or animals will travel through Egypt. No one will even live there for 40 years. ¹² Egypt will be more empty than any other land. Its destroyed cities will lie empty for 40 years. I will scatter the people of Egypt among the nations. I will send them to other countries.”

¹³ But here is what the Lord and King says. “At the end of 40 years I will gather the Egyptians together. I will bring them back from the nations where they were scattered.
