Ezekiel 30:13-19
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
13 Thus says the Lord God:
I will destroy the idols
and put an end to the images in Memphis;
there shall no longer be a prince in the land of Egypt,
so I will put fear in the land of Egypt.(A)
14 I will make Pathros a desolation
and will set fire to Zoan
and will execute acts of judgment on Thebes.(B)
15 I will pour my wrath upon Pelusium,
the stronghold of Egypt,
and will cut off the hordes of Thebes.(C)
16 I will set fire to Egypt;
Pelusium shall be in great agony;
Thebes shall be breached
and Memphis face adversaries by day.
17 The young men of On and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword,
and the cities themselves[a] shall go into captivity.
18 At Tehaphnehes the day shall be dark,
when I break there the dominion of Egypt,
and its proud might shall come to an end;
the city[b] shall be covered by a cloud,
and its daughter towns shall go into captivity.(D)
19 Thus I will execute acts of judgment on Egypt.
Then they shall know that I am the Lord.(E)
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.”
