Ezekiel 29:5-12

5I will 1abandonH5203 you to the wildernessH4057, you and allH3605 the fishH1710 of your 2canalsH2975; You will fallH5307 on the 3openH6440 fieldH7704; you will not be broughtH622 togetherH622 or 45gatheredH6908. I have givenH5414 you for 6foodH402 to the animalsH2421 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 hipsH4975 10shakeH4571.”

8‘ThereforeH3651 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559 thisH3541: “BeholdH2009, I am going to 11bringH935 upon you a swordH2719, and I will cutH3772 offH3772 from you humanH120 and animalH929 life. 9The 12landH776 of EgyptH4714 will becomeH1961 a desolationH8077 and placeH2723 ofH2723 ruinsH2723. 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 16canalsH2975, and I will makeH5414 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 an utterH2721 wasteH2721 and desolationH8077, from MigdolH4024 to SyeneH5482 and as farH5704 as the borderH1366 of 17CushH3568. 11A humanH120 footH7272 will 18not passH5674 through it, norH3808 will the footH7272 of an animalH929 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 desertedH8074 landsH776. And her citiesH5892, in the midstH8432 of citiesH5892 that are laidH2717 wasteH2717, will be desolateH8077 for fortyH705 yearsH8141; and I will 20scatterH6327 the EgyptiansH4714 among the nationsH1471 and disperseH2219 them among the landsH776.”
