10Therefore, behold, I am against you and against your Nile channels, and I will make the land of Egypt ruins, a desolation laid waste, from Migdol to Syene, as far as the border of Cush.

11No human foot will pass through it, and no animal foot will pass through it; and it will not be inhabited for forty years.

12And I will make the land of Egypt a desolation among desolated lands, and her cities will be a desolation among ruined cities for forty years; and I will scatter Egypt among the nations and disperse them through the lands.
