Ezekiel 30:13-19

New Century Version

I will destroy the idols
    and take away the statues of gods from the city of Memphis.
There will no longer be a leader in Egypt,
    and I will spread fear through the land of Egypt.
¹⁴ I will make southern Egypt empty
    and start a fire in Zoan
    and punish Thebes.
¹⁵ And I will pour out my anger against Pelusium,
    the strong place of Egypt.
    I will destroy great numbers of people in Thebes.
¹⁶ I will set fire to Egypt.
    Pelusium will be in great pain.
The walls of Thebes will be broken open,
    and Memphis will have troubles every day.
¹⁷ The young men of Heliopolis and Bubastis
    will fall dead in war,
    and the people will be taken away as captives.
¹⁸ In Tahpanhes the day will be dark
    when I break Egypt’s power.
    Then she will no longer be proud of her power.
A cloud will cover Egypt,
    and her villages will be captured and taken away.
¹⁹ So I will punish Egypt,
    and they will know I am the Lord.’”
