Ezekiel 29:12-15

12Egypt will become like a desert among empty lands. Its cities will be empty for 40 years, among cities that have become heaps of stones. I will cause the Egyptians to go and live among other nations in places far away.

13But this is what the Almighty Lord says: After 40 years, I will bring the Egyptians back from the places where I sent them.

14I will bring them back home to live in peace. I will bring them to Pathros, the land of their ancestors. There they will be a weak kingdom.

15Egypt will be the least important of all kingdoms. It will never again have power over other nations. I will make it too weak to rule over other nations.
