10 Behold, therefore I come upon thee, and upon thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate from the tower of Syene, even unto the borders of the [b]black Moors.

11 No foot of man shall pass by it, nor foot of beast shall pass by it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
