New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
8 Therefore, thus says the Lord God: I will bring a sword upon you and will cut off from you human and animal,(A) 9 and the land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.
Because you[a] said, “The Nile is mine, and I made it,” 10 therefore, I am against you and against your channels, and I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from Migdol to Syene, as far as the border of Cush.(B) 11 No human foot shall pass through it, and no animal foot shall pass through it; it shall be uninhabited forty years.(C) 12 I will make the land of Egypt a desolation among desolated countries, and her cities shall be a desolation forty years among cities that are laid waste. I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the countries.(D)
13 Further, thus says the Lord God: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples among whom they were scattered,(E) 14 and I will restore the fortunes of Egypt and bring them back to the land of Pathros, the land of their origin, and there they shall be a lowly kingdom.
