Ezekiel 29:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ And the land of Egypt shall become a desert, and a wilderness: and they shall know that I am the Lord: because thou hast said: The river is mine, and I made it.

¹⁰ Therefore, behold I come against thee, and thy rivers: and I will make the land of Egypt utterly desolate, and wasted by the sword, from the tower of Syene, even to the borders of Ethiopia.

¹¹ The foot of man shall not pass through it, neither shall the foot of beasts go through it: nor shall it be inhabited during forty years.
