Ezekiel 29:12-14

New American Standard Bible

¹² So I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the ^(A)midst of deserted lands. And her cities, in the midst of cities that are laid waste, will be desolate for forty years; and I will ^(B)scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands.”

¹³ ‘For this is what the Lord God says: “At the end of forty years I will ^(C)gather the Egyptians from the peoples ^[a]among whom they were scattered. ¹⁴ And I will restore the fortunes of Egypt and bring them back to the land of ^(D)Pathros, to the land of their origin, and there they will be a lowly kingdom.
