The young men of On and of Pi-beseth will die by the sword; and the cities will go into captivity.In Tahpanhes the day will be dark when I break the yoke of Egypt there. Her confident pride will cease within her; a cloud will cover her, and her daughters will go into captivity.
I will turn the land of Egypt into a desolation in the midst of desolate lands; for forty years her cities will lie desolate in the midst of ruined cities. I will scatter Egypt among the nations and disperse them among foreign countries.“‘ For this is what the sovereign LORD says: At the end of forty years I will gather Egypt from the peoples where they were scattered.
