Context
29:11 No human foot will pass through it, and no animal’s foot will pass through it; it will be uninhabited for forty years .
29:12 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 .
29:13 “‘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 .
29:14 I will restore the fortunes of Egypt , and will bring them back to the land of Pathros , to the land of their origin ; there they will be an insignificant kingdom .
29:15 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 .
29:16 It will never again be Israel’s source of confidence , but a reminder of how they sinned by turning to Egypt for help. Then they will know that I am the sovereign Lord .’”
29:17 In the twenty-seventh year , in the first month, on the first day of the month , the word of the Lord came to me :
29:18 “Son of man , King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon made his army labor hard against Tyre . Every head was rubbed bald and every shoulder rubbed bare; yet he and his army received no wages from Tyre for the work he carried out against it.
29:19 Therefore this is what the sovereign Lord says : Look , I am about to give the land of Egypt to King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon . He will carry off her wealth , capture her loot , and seize her plunder ; it will be his army’s wages .
29:20 I have given him the land of Egypt as his compensation for attacking Tyre, because they did it for me, declares the sovereign Lord .
29:21 On that day I will make Israel powerful , and I will give you the right to be heard among them. Then they will know that I am the Lord .”

NET Notes: Eze 29:14 Thus the Masoretic Text. The LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate translate as though the Hebrew read “cause to inhabit.”
