Ezekiel 30:10-12

I will make the multitude of Egypt to cease I will diminish the number of its inhabitants. I will make the rivers dry The fertility of Egypt depending on the rise and overflowing of the Nile, the meaning of the metaphor is, I will destroy the plenty, prosperity, and strength of Egypt. And sell the land into the hand of the wicked Namely, the haughty and cruel Babylonians. To sell, signifies here to deliver up, as men do goods which they sell. Compare Deuteronomy 32:30; Judges 2:14; and Judges 4:9.
