Ezekiel 29:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁸ Therefore, thus says the Lord God: I will bring a sword upon you and will cut off from you human and animal,^{(A) 9} and the land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.

Because you^[a] said, “The Nile is mine, and I made it,” ¹⁰ therefore, I am against you and against your channels, and I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from Migdol to Syene, as far as the border of Cush.^(B)
