Ezekiel 29:9

Read in context

Ezekiel 29:7–11 · Berean Standard Bible

7 When Israel took hold of you with their hands, you splintered, tearing all their shoulders; when they leaned on you, you broke, and their backs were wrenched.

8 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will bring a sword against you and cut off from you man and beast.

9 The land of Egypt will become a desolate wasteland. Then they will know that I am the LORD. Because you said, ‘The Nile is mine; I made it,’

10 therefore I am against you and against your rivers. I will turn the land of Egypt into a ruin, a desolate wasteland from Migdol to Syene, and as far as the border of Cush.

11 No foot of man or beast will pass through, and it will be uninhabited for forty years.
