⁸Therefore thus says the Lord God: ^yBehold, I will bring a sword upon you, and will cut off from you man and beast, ⁹and the land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste. ^vThen they will know that I am the Lord.

^z“Because you³ said, ‘The Nile is mine, and I made it,’ ¹⁰therefore, ^zbehold, I am against you and ^aagainst your streams, and ^aI will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, ^bfrom Migdol to Syene, as far as the border of Cush. ¹¹^cNo foot of man shall pass through it, and no foot of beast shall pass through it; it shall be uninhabited forty years. ¹²^dAnd I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of desolated countries, and her cities shall be a desolation forty years among cities that are laid waste. ^eI will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries.

¹³“For thus says the Lord God: At the end of forty years ^fI will gather the Egyptians from the peoples among whom they were scattered, ¹⁴and ^gI will restore the fortunes of Egypt and bring them back to ^hthe land of Pathros, the land of their origin, and there they shall be a lowly kingdom.
