Ezekiel 31:12

Egypt Will Fall like Assyria

11I delivered it into the hand of the ruler of the nations, for him to deal with it according to its wickedness. I have banished it.12Foreigners, the most ruthless of the nations, cut it down and left it. Its branches have fallen on the mountains and in every valley; its boughs lay broken in all the earth’s ravines. And all the peoples of the earth left its shade and abandoned it.
