EZEKIEL 29:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.”
It shall be the lowliest of the kingdoms, and never again exalt itself above the nations; and I will make them so small that they will never again rule over the nations, specifying that Egypt's restoration will involve permanent limitation of power. The repeated negations ('never again exalt,' 'never again rule') emphasize that Egypt will not recover its imperial status. This suggests a future where Egypt exists but subordinate to other powers.
