Ezekiel 29:11-13

New English Translation

¹¹ No human foot will pass through it, and no animal’s foot will pass through it; it will be uninhabited for forty years. ¹² I will turn the land of Egypt into a desolation in the midst of desolate lands; for forty years her cities will lie desolate in the midst of ruined cities. I will scatter Egypt among the nations and disperse them among foreign countries.

¹³ “‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: At the end of forty years^[a] I will gather Egypt from the peoples where they were scattered.
