Ezekiel 29:12 in Context — Ezekiel 29

10 C’est pourquoi voici, j’en veux à toi et à tes fleuves, Et je ferai du pays d’Égypte un désert et une solitude, Depuis Migdol jusqu’à Syène et aux frontières de l’Éthiopie.

11 Nul pied d’homme n’y passera, Nul pied d’animal n’y passera, Et il restera quarante ans sans être habité.

12 Je ferai du pays d’Égypte une solitude entre les pays dévastés, Et ses villes seront désertes entre les villes désertes, Pendant quarante ans. Je répandrai les Égyptiens parmi les nations, Je les disperserai en divers pays.

13 Ainsi parle le Seigneur, l’Éternel: Au bout de quarante ans je rassemblerai les Égyptiens Du milieu des peuples où ils auront été dispersés.

14 Je ramènerai les captifs de l’Égypte, Je les ramènerai dans le pays de Pathros, Dans le pays de leur origine, Et là ils formeront un faible royaume.
