Ezekiel 29:5-12
5I will 1abandonH5203 you to the wildernessH4057, you and allH3605 the fishH1710 of your 2riversH2975; You will fallH5307 on the 3openH6440 fieldH7704; you will not be broughtH622 togetherH622 or 45gatheredH6908. I have givenH5414 you for 6foodH402 to the beastsH2421 of the earthH776 and to the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064.6Then allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of EgyptH4714 will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068, BecauseH3282 they have beenH1961 only a 7staffH4938 made of reedH7070 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.7When they tookH8610 holdH8610 of you with the handH3709, You 8brokeH7533 and toreH1234 allH3605 their 9handsH3802; And when they leanedH8172 on you, You brokeH7665 and made allH3605 their loinsH4975 10quakeH5975.”
8‘ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “BeholdH2009, I will 11bringH935 upon you a swordH2719 and I will cutH3772 offH3772 from you manH120 and beastH929. 9The 12landH776 of EgyptH4714 will becomeH1961 a desolationH8077 and wasteH2723. Then they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.
BecauseH3282 13you 14saidH559, ‘The NileH2975 is mine, and I have madeH6213 it,’ 10thereforeH3651, beholdH2009, I am 15againstH413 you and againstH413 your 16riversH2975, and I will makeH5414 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 an utterH2721 wasteH2721 and desolationH8077, from MigdolH4024 to SyeneH5482 and even to the borderH1366 of 17EthiopiaH3568. 11A man’sH120 footH7272 will 18not passH5674 through it, and the footH7272 of a beastH929 will not passH5674 through it, and it will not be inhabitedH3427 for fortyH705 yearsH8141. 12So I will makeH5414 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 a desolationH8077 in the 19midstH8432 of desolatedH8074 landsH776. And her citiesH5892, in the midstH8432 of citiesH5892 that are laidH2717 wasteH2717, will be desolateH8077 fortyH705 yearsH8141; and I will 20scatterH6327 the EgyptiansH4714 among the nationsH1471 and disperseH2219 them among the landsH776.”
