²⁶ And I will give them up into the hands of those who will take their lives, and into the hands of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, and into the hands of his servants: and later, it will be peopled as in the past, says the Lord.

³⁰ The Lord has said, See, I will give up Pharaoh Hophra, king of Egypt, into the hands of those who are fighting against him and desiring to take his life, as I gave Zedekiah, king of Judah, into the hands of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, his hater, who had designs against his life.

¹¹ For this is what the Lord has said: The sword of the king of Babylon will come on you.

⁸ For this cause the Lord has said: See, I am sending a sword on you, cutting off from you man and beast.

⁹ And the land of Egypt will be an unpeopled waste; and they will be certain that I am the Lord: because he has said, The Nile is mine, and I made it.

¹⁰ See, then, I am against you and against your streams, and I will make the land of Egypt an unpeopled waste, from Migdol to Syene, even as far as the edge of Ethiopia.

¹¹ No foot of man will go through it and no foot of beast, and it will be unpeopled for forty years.

¹² I will make the land of Egypt a waste among the countries which are made waste, and her towns will be unpeopled among the towns which have been made waste, for forty years: and I will send the Egyptians in flight among the nations and wandering through the countries.

¹³ For this is what the Lord has said: At the end of forty years I will get the Egyptians together from the peoples where they have gone in flight:

¹⁴ I will let the fate of Egypt be changed, and will make them come back into the land of Pathros, into the land from which they came; and there they will be an unimportant kingdom.

⁴⁷ But still, I will let the fate of Moab be changed in the last days, says the Lord.

³⁹ But it will come about that, in the last days, I will let the fate of Elam be changed, says the Lord.
