Ezekiel 29:11-13

The Voice

^11-12 No people or animals will pass through there. Not a single person will live there for 40 years. I will turn the land of Egypt into a wasteland, a tragedy among tragedies, the most devastating of devastations! Any cities still standing after the war will lie in ruins for 40 years. I will scatter the Egyptians to the wind and divide them among the nations.

¹³ After 40 years have passed, I am going to gather the Egyptians from the nations where I scattered them.
