Ezekiel 29:7-10

7When they (Israel) grasped you (Egypt) by the hand, You broke and tore apart their hands; When they leaned on you, You broke and strained their backs.”

8‘Therefore thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I am going to bring a sword on you and cut off (destroy) both man and animal,

9and the land of Egypt will be a desolation and a wasteland. And they will know [without any doubt] that I am the Lord. “Because you said, ‘The Nile is mine and I have made it,’

10behold (hear this), therefore, I am against you and against your rivers (the Nile, its tributaries), and I will make the land of Egypt a complete waste and a desolation, from [northern] Migdol to [southern] Syene, even as far as the border of Ethiopia (Cush).
