Yeremia 46:19

46:19 Pack your bags for exile,

you inhabitants of poor dear Egypt. ¹ 

For Memphis will be laid waste.

It will lie in ruins ²  and be uninhabited.

Yehezkiel 30:7

30:7 They will be desolate among desolate lands,

and their cities will be among ruined cities.

Yehezkiel 30:23

30:23 I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among foreign countries.

Yehezkiel 30:26

30:26 I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among foreign countries. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”

[46:19]  ¹ tn Heb “inhabitants of daughter Egypt.” Like the phrase “daughter Zion,” “daughter Egypt” is a poetic personification of the land, here perhaps to stress the idea of defenselessness.

[46:19]  ² tn For the verb here see HALOT 675 s.v. II נָצָה Nif and compare the usage in Jer 4:7; 9:11 and 2 Kgs 19:25. BDB derives the verb from יָצַת (so BDB 428 s.v. יָצַת Niph meaning “kindle, burn”) but still give it the meaning “desolate” here and in 2:15 and 9:11.
