Ezekiel 29:14-16
New English Translation
14 I will restore the fortunes of Egypt and will bring them back[a] to the land of Pathros, to the land of their origin; there they will be an insignificant kingdom. 15 It will be the most insignificant of the kingdoms; it will never again exalt itself over the nations. I will make them so small that they will not rule over the nations. 16 It will never again be Israel’s source of confidence, but a reminder of how they sinned by turning to Egypt for help.[b] Then they will know that I am the Sovereign Lord.’”
