Ezekiel 29:12-14

New Century Version

¹² I will make the land of Egypt the most deserted country of all. Her cities will be the most deserted of all ruined cities for forty years. I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, spreading them among the countries.

¹³ “‘This is what the Lord God says: After forty years I will gather Egypt from the nations where they have been scattered. ¹⁴ I will bring back the Egyptian captives and make them return to southern Egypt, to the land they came from. They will become a weak kingdom there.
