Ezekiel 29:15

She was easily conquered by the Persians, fell a prey to the Greeks, was tossed about by the Romans, and has never, even to this day, had an independent native ruler on the throne. Never again should Egypt be “the confidence of the house of Israel” (Ezekiel 29:16; compare Isaiah 30:2-3; Isaiah 36:4; Isa 36:6 ; 2 Kings 23:35; 2 Kings 17:4).
