Ezekiel 29:10 BBE

⁸  For this cause the Lord has said: See, I am sending a sword on you, cutting off from you man and beast.

⁹  And the land of Egypt will be an unpeopled waste; and they will be certain that I am the Lord: because he has said, The Nile is mine, and I made it.

¹⁰  See, then, I am against you and against your streams, and I will make the land of Egypt an unpeopled waste, from Migdol to Syene, even as far as the edge of Ethiopia.

¹¹  No foot of man will go through it and no foot of beast, and it will be unpeopled for forty years.

¹²  I will make the land of Egypt a waste among the countries which are made waste, and her towns will be unpeopled among the towns which have been made waste, for forty years: and I will send the Egyptians in flight among the nations and wandering through the countries.
