Ezekiel 29:14-16
International Standard Version
14 I’ll restore the economy[a] of Egypt and return them to the land of Pathros,[b] from which they originated, and there they will remain an insignificant kingdom, 15 the least significant of kingdoms. It will never again dominate other nations. I will make them so small that they will never again rule any nation. 16 Egypt will never again be a source of confidence to the nation[c] of Israel. Instead, Egypt will serve as a reminder of when they sinned by turning to Egypt for help. Then they’ll know that I am the Lord God.’”

Ezekiel 29:14-16
New International Version
14 I will bring them back from captivity and return them to Upper Egypt,(A) the land of their ancestry. There they will be a lowly(B) kingdom.(C) 15 It will be the lowliest of kingdoms and will never again exalt itself above the other nations.(D) I will make it so weak that it will never again rule over the nations. 16 Egypt will no longer be a source of confidence(E) for the people of Israel but will be a reminder(F) of their sin in turning to her for help.(G) Then they will know that I am the Sovereign Lord.(H)’”
