Ezekiel 29:14-16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
14 I will restore Egypt’s fortunes,
bringing them back to the land of Pathros,[a]
the land of their origin.
But there it will be a lowly kingdom,
15 lower than any other kingdom,
no longer able to set itself above the nations.
I will make them few in number,
so they cannot rule other nations.
16 No longer shall they be security
for the house of Israel,
But a reminder of its iniquity
in turning away to follow them.
Then they shall know that I am the Lord God.(A)
