Ezekiel 29:6-16
6And all the inhabitantsH3427 of EgyptH4714 shall knowH3045 that I am YhwhH3068, because they have been a staffH4938 of reedH7070 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478. 7When they took holdH8610 of thee by thy handH3709, thou didst breakH7533, and rendH1234 all their shoulderH3802: and when they leanedH8172 upon thee, thou brakestH7665, and madest all their loinsH4975 to be at a standH5976.
8Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 YhwhH3069; Behold, I will bringH935 a swordH2719 upon thee, and cut offH3772 manH120 and beastH929 out of thee. 9And the landH776 of EgyptH4714 shall be desolateH8077 and wasteH2723; and they shall knowH3045 that I am YhwhH3068: because he hath saidH559, The riverH2975 is mine, and I have madeH6213 it. 10Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy riversH2975, and I will makeH5414 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 utterlyH2721 wasteH2723 and desolateH8077, from the towerH4024 of SyeneH5482 even unto the borderH1366 of EthiopiaH3568.123 11No footH7272 of manH120 shall pass throughH5674 it, nor footH7272 of beastH929 shall pass throughH5674 it, neither shall it be inhabitedH3427 fortyH705 yearsH8141. 12And I will makeH5414 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 desolateH8077 in the midstH8432 of the countriesH776 that are desolateH8074, and her citiesH5892 amongH8432 the citiesH5892 that are laid wasteH2717 shall be desolateH8077 fortyH705 yearsH8141: and I will scatterH6327 the EgyptiansH4714 among the nationsH1471, and will disperseH2219 them through the countriesH776.
13Yet thus saithH559 the LordH136 YhwhH3069; At the endH7093 of fortyH705 yearsH8141 will I gatherH6908 the EgyptiansH4714 from the peopleH5971 whither they were scatteredH6327: 14And I will bring againH7725 the captivityH7622 of EgyptH4714, and will cause them to returnH7725 into the landH776 of PathrosH6624, into the landH776 of their habitationH4351; and they shall be there a baseH8217 kingdomH4467.45 15It shall be the basestH8217 of the kingdomsH4467; neither shall it exaltH5375 itself any more above the nationsH1471: for I will diminishH4591 them, that they shall no more ruleH7287 over the nationsH1471. 16And it shall be no more the confidenceH4009 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, which bringethH2142 their iniquityH5771 to remembranceH2142, when they shall lookH6437 afterH310 them: but they shall knowH3045 that I am the LordH136 YhwhH3069.
