When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate and waste, a land destitute of that of which it was full, when I shall strike all those who dwell therein, then shall they know that I am the LORD.
I will harden Par`oh's heart, and he will follow after them; and I will get honor over Par`oh, and over all his armies; and the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD.* They did so.
I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be a desolation forty years; and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.*
