They will be a desolation for forty years, and I will scatter Egypt among the nations, and I will disperse them among the countries." ¹³ For thus says the Lord Yahweh: "At the end of forty years I will gather Egypt from the peoples among whom they were scattered. ¹⁴ And I will restore the fortunes of Egypt, and I will bring them back to the land of Pathros, to the land of their origin, and they will be a lowly kingdom there. ¹⁵ Of all the kingdoms it will be the most lowly, and it will not exalt itself again over the nations, and I will make them small so as not to rule over the nations. ¹⁶ And it will not be again for the house of Israel an object of trust, bringing to remembrance their guilt _⌊when they turned back to them_⌋,* and they will know that I am the Lord Yahweh." ¹⁷ _⌊And then_⌋* in _⌊the twenty-seventh year_⌋,* in the first month, on the first day of the month, the word of Yahweh _⌊came_⌋* to me, _⌊saying_⌋,* ¹⁸ "Son of man,* Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, he made his army labor hard against Tyre.
