And it will never again be the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing to mind the iniquity of their having turned to Egypt. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD."'"At least a couple times through their history, Israel and/or Judah turned to Egypt for military alliances against their enemies. These never worked out well, for Egypt either wasn't strong enough to help them win, or didn't come. Plus, whenever it happened, God condemned them move as a failing of their faith.
Apparently, that was going to come to and end, as God vowed to punish Egypt. I'm not sure if this punishment has been carried out, or it is a prophecy yet to be fulfilled. Whichever it is, at the completion it will be obvious that Egypt is no good as anyone's ally, and no one would turn to them for help again.
