13 “Thus says the Lord God:

I will destroy the idols,
    and put an end to the images, in Memphis;
there shall no longer be a prince in the land of Egypt;
    so I will put fear in the land of Egypt.
14 I will make Pathros a desolation,
    and will set fire to Zo′an,
    and will execute acts of judgment upon Thebes.
15 And I will pour my wrath upon Pelusium,
    the stronghold of Egypt,
    and cut off the multitude of Thebes.
16 And I will set fire to Egypt;
    Pelusium shall be in great agony;
Thebes shall be breached,
    and its walls broken down.[a]
17 The young men of On and of Pibe′seth shall fall by the sword;
    and the women shall go into captivity.
18 At Tehaph′nehes the day shall be dark,
    when I break there the dominion of Egypt,
and her proud might shall come to an end;
    she shall be covered by a cloud,
    and her daughters shall go into captivity.
19 Thus I will execute acts of judgment upon Egypt.
    Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
