Ezekiel 29:12-14

Evangelical Heritage Version

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. ¹⁴ I will bring about the restoration of Egypt and return them to Upper Egypt,^[a] the land of their origin, and there they will be a lowly kingdom.
