13 Thus saith the Lord God;
I will also destroy the idols,
and I will cause their images to cease out of Noph;
and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt:
and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.
14 And I will make Pathros desolate,
and will set fire in Zoan,
and will execute judgments in No.
15 And I will pour my fury upon Sin,
the strength of Egypt;
and I will cut off the multitude of No.
16 And I will set fire in Egypt:
Sin shall have great pain,
and No shall be rent asunder,
and Noph shall have distresses daily.
17 The young men of Aven and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword:
and these cities shall go into captivity.
18 At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened,
when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt:
and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her:
as for her, a cloud shall cover her,
and her daughters shall go into captivity.
19 Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt:
and they shall know that I am the Lord.

13 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause the [a]images to cease from Memphis; and there shall be no more a prince from the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt. 14 And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments upon No. 15 And I will pour my wrath upon Sin, the stronghold of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No. 16 And I will set a fire in Egypt: Sin shall be in great anguish, and No shall be broken up; and Memphis shall have adversaries [b]in the day-time. 17 The young men of Aven and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword; and these cities shall go into captivity. 18 At Tehaphnehes also the day shall [c]withdraw itself, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt, and the pride of her power shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity. 19 Thus will I execute judgments upon Egypt; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.

13 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“‘I will destroy the idols(A)
    and put an end to the images in Memphis.(B)
No longer will there be a prince in Egypt,(C)
    and I will spread fear throughout the land.

    and inflict punishment on Thebes.(F)
15 I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium,
    the stronghold of Egypt,
    and wipe out the hordes of Thebes.
16 I will set fire(G) to Egypt;
    Pelusium will writhe in agony.
Thebes will be taken by storm;
    Memphis(H) will be in constant distress.
17 The young men of Heliopolis(I) and Bubastis
    will fall by the sword,
    and the cities themselves will go into captivity.
18 Dark will be the day at Tahpanhes(J)
    when I break the yoke of Egypt;(K)
    there her proud strength will come to an end.
She will be covered with clouds,
    and her villages will go into captivity.(L)
19 So I will inflict punishment(M) on Egypt,
    and they will know that I am the Lord.’”
