Ezekiel 30:13-19
New International Version
13 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘I will destroy the idols(A)
and put an end to the images in Memphis.(B)
No longer will there be a prince in Egypt,(C)
and I will spread fear throughout the land.
14 I will lay(D) waste Upper Egypt,
set fire to Zoan(E)
and inflict punishment on Thebes.(F)
15 I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium,
the stronghold of Egypt,
and wipe out the hordes of Thebes.
16 I will set fire(G) to Egypt;
Pelusium will writhe in agony.
Thebes will be taken by storm;
Memphis(H) will be in constant distress.
17 The young men of Heliopolis(I) and Bubastis
will fall by the sword,
and the cities themselves will go into captivity.
18 Dark will be the day at Tahpanhes(J)
when I break the yoke of Egypt;(K)
there her proud strength will come to an end.
She will be covered with clouds,
and her villages will go into captivity.(L)
19 So I will inflict punishment(M) on Egypt,
and they will know that I am the Lord.’”
Ezekiel 30:13-19
International Standard Version
Destruction of Egypt’s Gods
13 “This is what the Lord God says:
‘I will destroy the idols
and put an end to the images that come from Memphis.
There will no longer be a prince from the land of Egypt,
and I will terrify the land of Egypt.
14 I’m going to turn Pathros into a desolation,
set fire to Zoan,[a]
and judge Thebes.[b]
15 I’ll pour out my anger on Sin,[c]
Egypt’s strong fortress,
and I’ll eliminate the gangs in Thebes.
16 I’ll set fire to Egypt,
and Aswan[d] will writhe in agony.
Thebes will be demolished,
and Memphis will face daily distress.
17 The young men of On and Pi-beseth will die violently,[e]
and their cities will be taken captive.
18 It will be a dark day for Tahpanhes
when I break the yokes of Egypt.
That’s when her arrogant power will come to an end.
She’ll be covered by a cloud,
and her citizens[f] will go into captivity.
19 I will judge Egypt,
and they will learn that I am the Lord.’”
