10 therefore, behold, I am (A)against you and against your canals of the Nile, and I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from Migdol to Syene and even to the border of [a]Ethiopia. 11 A man’s foot will (B)not pass through it, and the foot of a beast will not pass through it, and it will not be inhabited for forty years. 12 So I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the (C)midst of desolated lands. And her cities, in the midst of cities that are laid waste, will be desolate forty years; and I will (D)scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands.”

“They will be desolate
In the (A)midst of the desolated lands;
And her cities will be
In the midst of the cities laid waste.
And they will (B)know that I am Yahweh,
When I set a (C)fire in Egypt
And all her helpers are broken.

13 ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh,

“I will also (A)destroy the idols
And make the [a]images cease from [b](B)Memphis.
And there will no longer be a prince in the land of Egypt;
And I will put fear in the land of Egypt.
14 I will make (C)Pathros desolate,
Set a fire in (D)Zoan,
And execute judgments on [c](E)Thebes.
15 I will pour out My wrath on [d]Sin,
The strong defense of Egypt;
I will also cut off the multitude of [e]Thebes.
16 I will set a fire in Egypt;
[f]Sin will writhe in anguish;
[g]Thebes will be breached,
And [h]Memphis will have [i]distresses daily.
17 The choice men of [j](F)On and of Pi-beseth
Will fall by the sword,
And [k]the women will go into captivity.
18 In (G)Tehaphnehes the day will [l]be (H)dark
When I (I)break there the bars of the yoke of Egypt.
Then the pride of her strength will cease in her;
A cloud will cover her,
And her daughters will go into captivity.
19 Thus I will (J)execute judgments on Egypt,
And they will know that I am Yahweh.”’”
