29:8 “‘Therefore, this is what the sovereign Lord says: Look, I am about to bring a sword against you, and I will kill¹ every person and every animal. 29:9 The land of Egypt will become a desolate ruin. Then they will know that I am the Lord.

Because he said, “The Nile is mine and I made it,” 29:10 I am against² you and your waterways. I will turn the land of Egypt into an utter desolate ruin from Migdol³ to Syene,⁴ as far as the border with Ethiopia.
