5. And I will leave thee thrown into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open field; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the earth and to the fowls of the heaven,
6. And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
7. When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and didst rend all their shoulders: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand.
8. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and will cut off from thee man and beast.
9. And the land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste; and they shall know that I am the Lord: because he hath said, The river is mine, and I have made it,
10. therefore behold, I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from the tower of Seveneh even unto the border of Ethiopia.
11. No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
