¹¹ No person or animal will walk through it, and no one will live in Egypt for forty years. ¹² I will make the land of Egypt the most deserted country of all. Her cities will be the most deserted of all ruined cities for forty years. I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, spreading them among the countries.
