Ezekiel 29:8-10

The Voice

⁸ So this is what I, the Eternal Lord, have to say: “Look, I will march an army against you! It’s coming to slaughter your people and your animals. ⁹ I am going to make the land of Egypt a lonely wasteland; then they will know that I am the Eternal One.”

Because of your arrogant utterance, “I own the Nile. I made it, and it is mine,” ¹⁰ I oppose you and your streams. I will turn the land of Egypt into a lonely wasteland from Migdol to Aswan,^[a] all the way to Ethiopia.^[b]
