13For thus says the Lord GOD: At the end of forty years I will gather Egypt from the peoples among whom they were scattered.

14And I will restore the fortunes of Egypt and bring them back to the land of Pathros, to the land of their origin, and there they will be a lowly kingdom.

15It will be the lowliest of the kingdoms, and it will no longer exalt itself above the nations; and I will diminish them, so that they will not rule over the nations.

16And it will no longer be for the house of Israel a source of confidence, bringing iniquity to remembrance when they turn after them; then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.
