13 The Lord God proclaims:
I will destroy the idols
    and bring an end to the images in Memphis.
Never again will there be a prince from the land of Egypt;
    so I will kindle fear in the land of Egypt.
14         I will turn Pathros into a desolation,
        set fire to Zoan,
        and execute judgments in Thebes.
15 I will pour out my anger on Pelusium,
    the stronghold of Egypt,
    and I will cut down pompous Thebes.
16 I will set Egypt on fire;
    Pelusium will writhe in travail,
    Thebes will be split open,
    Memphis assaulted in broad daylight.
17 The elite troops of On and Pi-beseth
    will fall by the sword,
    and the cities themselves will go into captivity.

18 At Tehaphnehes the day will go dark when I break Egypt’s yoke and bring an end to its proud strength. A cloud will cover it, and the towns around it will go into captivity. 19 I will execute judgments in Egypt, and they will know that I am the Lord.
