Ezekiel 29:5-12

5And I will castH5307 thee forth into the wildernessH4057, thee and all the fishH1710 of thy riversH2975: thou shalt fallH5307 upon the open fieldH7704; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gatheredH622; I have givenH5414 thee for foodH402 to the beasts of the earthH776 and to the birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064. 6And all the inhabitantsH3427 of EgyptH4714 shall knowH3045 that I am Jehovah, because they have beenH1961 a staffH4938 of reedH7070 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478. 7When they took hold of thee by thy handH3709, thou didst breakH7665, and didst rend all their shouldersH3802; and when they leanedH8172 upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loinsH4975 to be at a stand.

8ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: Behold, I will bringH935 a swordH2719 upon thee, and will cutH3772 off from thee manH120 and beast. 9And the landH776 of EgyptH4714 shall beH1961 a desolationH8077 and a wasteH2723; and they shall knowH3045 that I am Jehovah. Because he hath saidH559, The riverH2975 is mine, and I have madeH6213 it; 10thereforeH3651, behold, I am against thee, and against thy riversH2975, and I will makeH5414 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 an utter wasteH2723 and desolationH8077, from the tower of Seveneh even unto the borderH1366 of Ethiopia. 11No footH7272 of manH120 shall passH5674 through it, nor footH7272 of beast shall passH5674 through it, neither shall it be inhabitedH3427 fortyH705 yearsH8141. 12And I will makeH5414 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 a desolationH8077 in the midstH8432 of the countries that are desolateH8074; and her citiesH5892 among the citiesH5892 that are laid waste shall beH1961 a desolationH8077 fortyH705 yearsH8141; and I will scatterH2219 the Egyptians among the nationsH1471, and will disperseH2219 them through the countries.
