Ezekiel 30:13-19
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.”
Ezekiel 30:13-19
English Standard Version
13 “Thus says the Lord God:
(A)“I will destroy the idols
and put an end to the images in (B)Memphis;
(C)there shall no longer be a prince from the land of Egypt;
so (D)I will put fear in the land of Egypt.
14 I will make (E)Pathros a desolation
and will set fire to (F)Zoan
(G)and will execute judgments on (H)Thebes.
15 And I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium,
the stronghold of Egypt,
and cut off the multitude[a] of Thebes.
16 And I will set fire to Egypt;
Pelusium shall be in great agony;
Thebes shall be breached,
and (I)Memphis shall face enemies[b] by day.
17 The young men of On and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword,
and the women[c] shall go into captivity.
18 At (J)Tehaphnehes (K)the day shall be dark,
when I break there the yoke bars of Egypt,
and (L)her proud might shall come to an end in her;
she shall be covered by a cloud,
and her daughters shall go into captivity.
19 Thus (M)I will execute judgments on Egypt.
(N)Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
