Ezekiel 29: 12-14
​ And I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of desolated countries, and her cities shall be a desolation forty years among cities that are laid waste. I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries.  "For thus says the Lord GOD: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples among whom they were scattered,  and I will restore the fortunes of Egypt and bring them back to the land of Pathros, the land of their origin, and there they shall be a lowly kingdom

​Egypt was once the most powerful nation in the world, but since this time has been a lowly kingdom to this day.
