Ezekiel 29:11-13

Living Bible

¹¹ For forty years not a soul will pass that way, neither men nor animals. It will be completely uninhabited. ¹² I will make Egypt desolate, surrounded by desolate nations, and her cities will lie as wastelands for forty years. I will exile the Egyptians to other lands.

¹³ “‘But the Lord God says that at the end of the forty years he will bring the Egyptians home again from the nations to which they will be banished.
