Ezekiel 30:13-19

International Children’s Bible

I will destroy the idols.
    And I will take away the statues of false 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.
    I will start a fire in Zoan.
    I will 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.
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.’”
