Ezekiel 29:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ until your land is a barren desert. Then you will know that I have done these things.

You claimed that you made the Nile River and control it. ¹⁰ Now I am turning against you and your river. Your nation will be nothing but an empty wasteland all the way from the town of Migdol in the north to Aswan in the south, and as far as the border of Ethiopia.^{[a] 11} No human or animal will even dare travel through Egypt, because no sign of life will be found there for 40 years.
