Ezekiel 29:8-12

Easy-to-Read Version

God said, “Why will I do these things? Because you said, ‘This is my river. I made this river.’ ¹⁰ So I am against you. I am against the many branches of your Nile River. I will destroy Egypt completely. The cities will be empty from Migdol to Aswan and as far as the border of Ethiopia. ¹¹ No person or animal will pass through Egypt. Nothing will pass through or settle there for 40 years. ¹² I will destroy Egypt. The cities will be in ruins for 40 years! I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations. I will make them strangers^[a] in foreign lands.”
