Ezekiel 30:13-19

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹³ “ ‘This is what the Almighty Lord says: I will destroy the statues and put an end to the idols in Memphis. A prince will never rise again in Egypt. I will spread fear throughout Egypt. ¹⁴ I will destroy Pathros, set fire to Zoan, and bring punishment on Thebes. ¹⁵ I will pour out my fury on Sin, Egypt’s fortress, and I will kill many people in Thebes. ¹⁶ I will set fire to Egypt. Sin will be in much pain. Thebes will be broken into pieces, and Memphis will be in trouble every day. ¹⁷ The young men from Heliopolis and Bubastis will die in battle, and people from these cities will go into exile. ¹⁸ At Tahpanhes the day will turn dark when I break Egypt’s power. Egypt’s strong army will be defeated. Clouds will cover Egypt, and people from its villages will go into exile. ¹⁹ Then they will know that I am the Lord, because I will bring punishment on Egypt.’ ”
