For Memphis shall be void desolate, so that no man shall dwell therein. The land of Egypt is like a goodly fair calf, but one shall come out of the north to prick her forward. Her waged soldiers that be with her, are like fat calves. They also shall flee away together, and not abide: for the day of their slaughter and the time of their visitation shall come upon them. The cry of their enemies shall make a noise, as the blast of a trumpet. For they shall enter in with their host, and come with axes, as it were hewers-down of wood. And they shall cut down her wood, sayeth the LORD, without any discretion. For they shall be more in number than the grasshoppers, so that no man shall be able to tell them. The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded when she shall be delivered into the hands of the people of the north. Moreover, sayeth the LORD of Hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will visit that restless people of Alexandria, Pharaoh and Egypt; yea, both their gods and their kings; even Pharaoh, and all them that put their trust in him.

I will put a hook in thy jaws, and hang all the fish in thy waters upon thy scales; after that I will draw thee out of thy waters, yea, and all the fish of the waters that hang upon thy scales. I will cast thee out upon the dry land with the fish of thy waters, so that thou shalt lie upon the field. Thou shalt not be gathered nor taken up: but shall be meat for the beasts of the field, and for the fowls of the air: that all they which dwell in Egypt, may know, that I am the LORD: because thou hast been a staff of reed to the house of Israel. When they took hold of thee with their hand thou breakest and prickest them on every side: and if they leaned upon thee, thou brakest and hurtest the reins of their backs. "'Therefore, thus sayeth the LORD God: Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and root out of thee both man and beast. Yea, the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste, and they shall know that I am the LORD: Because he said, 'The water is mine, I myself have made it.' Behold therefore, I will upon thee, and upon thy waters: I will make the land of Egypt waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene unto the borders of the Ethiopians' land: so that in forty years there shall no foot of man walk there, neither foot of cattle go there, neither shall it be inhabited. I will make the land of Egypt to be desolate among other waste countries, and her cities to lie void forty years, among other void cities: And I will scatter the Egyptians among the Heathen and nations. Again, thus sayeth the LORD God: When the forty years are expired I will gather the Egyptians together again, out of the nations, among whom they were scattered, and will bring the prisoners of Egypt again into the land of Pathros their own native country, that they may be there a lowly small kingdom: Yea, they shall be the smallest among the other kingdoms, lest they exalt themselves above the Heathen, for I will so diminish them, that they shall no more rule the Heathen. They shall no more be a hope unto the house of Israel, neither provoke them any more to wickedness, to cause them turn back, and follow them: and they shall know, that I am the LORD God.'"

Yet hath Tyre given neither him nor his host any reward, for the great travail that he hath taken there. Therefore thus sayeth the LORD God: Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, that he may take away all her substance, rob her robberies, and spoil her spoils, to pay his host their wages withal. For the work which he wrought about it, I have given him the land of Egypt, because they wrought for me, sayeth the LORD God.
