Ezekiel 29:8-14

8Therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will bring a sword upon you, and will cut off from you man and beast,

9and the land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste. Then they will know that I am the Lord. "Because you said, 'The Nile is mine, and I made it,'

10therefore, behold, I am against you and against your streams, and I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from Migdol to Syene, as far as the border of Cush.

11No foot of man shall pass through it, and no foot of beast shall pass through it; it shall be uninhabited forty years.

12And I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of desolated countries, and her cities shall be a desolation forty years among cities that are laid waste. I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries.

13"For thus says the Lord God: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples among whom they were scattered,

14and I will restore the fortunes of Egypt and bring them back to the land of Pathros, the land of their origin, and there they shall be a lowly kingdom.
