I will pull you up from among your rivers, and all the fish of your rivers will cling to your scales. 5 I will leave you in the desert—you and all the fish of your rivers. You will fall on the open fields, and you will not be gathered or buried. I have given you as food to the beasts of the earth and the birds of the heavens. 6 Then all the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel. 7 When they grasped you with their hands, you splintered and tore all their shoulders; and when they leaned on you, you broke, making their backs give way. 8 Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am bringing a sword against you, and I will cut off both man and beast from among you. 9 The land of Egypt will become a desolate waste. Then they will know that I am the LORD. Because he said, 'The Nile is mine; I made it,' 10 therefore, I am against you and your rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt a ruin and a waste from Migdol to Syene, as far as the border of Cush. 11 No foot of man or beast will pass through it; it will be uninhabited for forty years. 12 I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of desolate lands, and her cities will be among ruined cities—a desolation for forty years.

There they will be a lowly kingdom. 15 It will be the lowliest of kingdoms and will never again exalt itself above the nations.

But neither he nor his army received wages from Tyre for the labor he had performed against it. 19 Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. He will carry off her wealth, her plunder, and her loot as wages for his army. 20 As payment for the labor he performed, I have given him the land of Egypt, because they worked for me, declares the Lord GOD. 21 On that day I will cause a horn to sprout for the house of Israel, and I will open your mouth among them. Then they will know that I am the LORD.
