¹⁶ I will set fire^(A) to Egypt;
    Pelusium will writhe in agony.
Thebes will be taken by storm;
    Memphis^(B) will be in constant distress.

⁸ Then they will know that I am the Lord,
    when I set fire^(A) to Egypt
    and all her helpers are crushed.^(B)

¹⁸ By your many sins and dishonest trade
    you have desecrated your sanctuaries.
So I made a fire^(A) come out from you,
    and it consumed you,
and I reduced you to ashes^(B) on the ground
    in the sight of all who were watching.^(C)
