Ezekiel 30:13-19
New American Standard Bible
13 ‘This is what the Lord God says:
“I will also (A)destroy the idols
And make the [a]images cease from [b](B)Memphis.
And there will no longer be a prince in the land of Egypt;
And I will put fear in the land of Egypt.
14 I will make (C)Pathros desolate,
Set a fire in (D)Zoan
And execute judgments on [c](E)Thebes.
15 I will pour out My wrath on [d]Sin,
The stronghold of Egypt;
I will also eliminate the hordes of [e]Thebes.
16 I will set a fire in Egypt;
[f]Sin will writhe in anguish,
[g]Thebes will be breached
And [h]Memphis will have [i]distresses daily.
17 The young men of [j](F)On and of Pi-beseth
Will fall by the sword,
And [k]the women will go into captivity.
18 In (G)Tehaphnehes the day will [l]be (H)dark
When I (I)break there the yoke bars of Egypt.
Then the pride of her power will cease in her;
A cloud will cover her,
And her daughters will go into captivity.
19 So I will (J)execute judgments on Egypt,
And they will know that I am the Lord.”’”

New Living Translation
13 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
I will smash the idols[a] of Egypt
and the images at Memphis.[b]
There will be no rulers left in Egypt;
terror will sweep the land.
14 I will destroy southern Egypt,[c]
set fire to Zoan,
and bring judgment against Thebes.[d]
15 I will pour out my fury on Pelusium,[e]
the strongest fortress of Egypt,
and I will stamp out
the hordes of Thebes.
16 Yes, I will set fire to all Egypt!
Pelusium will be racked with pain;
Thebes will be torn apart;
Memphis will live in constant terror.
17 The young men of Heliopolis and Bubastis[f] will die in battle,
and the women[g] will be taken away as slaves.
18 When I come to break the proud strength of Egypt,
it will be a dark day for Tahpanhes, too.
A dark cloud will cover Tahpanhes,
and its daughters will be led away as captives.
19 And so I will greatly punish Egypt,
and they will know that I am the Lord.”
