Ezekiel 29:12 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

I'm going to leave Egypt completely empty — more barren than all the other destroyed nations around it. For forty years, Egypt's cities will be ghost towns among all the other ruined cities. I'll scatter the Egyptian people everywhere, spreading them out across different countries and nations.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Even powerful Egypt isn't untouchable — God can humble any nation and scatter its people when judgment comes.
