Ezekiel 29:11-13

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹¹ No one will set foot in it. No animal will set foot in it. It will remain uninhabited for forty years. ¹² I will make the land of Egypt more desolate than any other land, and its cities will be the most desolate of ruined cities for forty years. I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the countries.

¹³ Furthermore, this is what the Lord God says. At the end of forty years, I will gather the Egyptians from among the peoples where they were scattered.
