Ezekiel 29:6-16
6Then allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of EgyptH4714 will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068, BecauseH3282 they have beenH1961 only a 1staffH4938 made of reedH7070 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.7When they tookH8610 holdH8610 of you with the handH3709, You 2brokeH7533 and toreH1234 allH3605 their 3handsH3802; And when they leanedH8172 on you, You brokeH7665 and made allH3605 their loinsH4975 4quakeH5975.”
8‘ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “BeholdH2009, I will 5bringH935 upon you a swordH2719 and I will cutH3772 offH3772 from you manH120 and beastH929. 9The 6landH776 of EgyptH4714 will becomeH1961 a desolationH8077 and wasteH2723. Then they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.
BecauseH3282 7you 8saidH559, ‘The NileH2975 is mine, and I have madeH6213 it,’ 10thereforeH3651, beholdH2009, I am 9againstH413 you and againstH413 your 10riversH2975, and I will makeH5414 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 an utterH2721 wasteH2721 and desolationH8077, from MigdolH4024 to SyeneH5482 and even to the borderH1366 of 11EthiopiaH3568. 11A man’sH120 footH7272 will 12not 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 13midstH8432 of desolatedH8074 landsH776. And her citiesH5892, in the midstH8432 of citiesH5892 that are laidH2717 wasteH2717, will be desolateH8077 fortyH705 yearsH8141; and I will 14scatterH6327 the EgyptiansH4714 among the nationsH1471 and disperseH2219 them among the landsH776.”
13‘For thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “At the endH7093 of fortyH705 yearsH8141 I will 15gatherH6908 the EgyptiansH4714 from the peoplesH5971 16among whomH834H8033 they were scatteredH6327. 14I will turnH7725 the fortunesH7622 of EgyptH4714 and makeH7725 them returnH7725 to the landH776 of 17PathrosH6624, to the landH776 of their originH4351, and thereH8033 they will be a lowlyH8217 kingdomH4467. 15It will be the 18lowestH8217 of the kingdomsH4467, and it will neverH3808 againH5750 liftH5375 itself up aboveH5921 the nationsH1471. And I will makeH4591 them so smallH4591 that they will not 19ruleH7287 overH5921 the nationsH1471. 16And it will neverH3808 againH5750 be the 20confidenceH4009 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, 2122bringingH2142 to mindH2142 the iniquityH5771 of their having turnedH6437 23to Egypt. Then they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH136 GodH3068.”’”
