Ezekiel 29:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their habitation, and they shall be there a [a]small kingdom.
15 It shall be the smallest of the kingdoms, neither shall it exalt itself anymore above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule the nations.
16 And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, to bring their [b]iniquity to remembrance by looking after them, so shall they know that I am the Lord God.
