Ezekiel 29:12-15

12I will make Egypt the most desolate country in the world. For 40 years Egypt’s cities will lie in ruins. They will be ruined more than any other city. I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and force them into other countries.

13“ ‘This is what the Almighty Lord says: After 40 years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations where they have been scattered.

14I will bring back the Egyptian captives and return them to Pathros, the land they came from. There they will be a weak kingdom.

15They will be the weakest kingdom, and they will never rule the nations again. I will make them so weak that they will never rule the nations again.
