29:13. For thus saith the Lord God: At the end of forty years I will
gather the Egyptians from the people among whom they had been scattered.

29:14. And I will bring back the captivity of Egypt, and will place them
in the land of Phatures, in the land of their nativity, and they shall
be there a low kingdom:

29:15. It shall be the lowest among other kingdoms, and it shall no more
be exalted over the nations, and I will diminish them that they shall
rule no more over the nations.

29:16. And they shall be no more a confidence to the house of Israel,
teaching iniquity, that they may flee, and follow them: and they shall
know that I am the Lord God.

29:17. And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year in the first
