You have also committed sexual immorality with the Egyptians, your neighbors, great of flesh; and have multiplied your prostitution, to provoke me to anger.

Thus you called to memory the lewdness of your youth, in the handling of your bosom by the Egyptians for the breasts of your youth.

I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be a desolation forty years; and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries."

"'For thus says the Lord GOD: "At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the peoples where they were scattered;

I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.

I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries; and they shall know that I am the LORD.'"
