Ezekiel 29:12-14

American Standard Version

¹² And I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be a desolation forty years; and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.

¹³ For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the peoples whither they were scattered; ¹⁴ and I will ^[a]bring back the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their ^[b]birth; and they shall be there a ^[c]base kingdom.
