← Ezekiel 29:9	Ezekiel 29:10 (KJV)	Ezekiel 29:11 →
And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD: because he hath said, The river [is] mine, and I have made [it].	Behold, therefore I [am] against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste [and] desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.	No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
