13 “‘The Lord Yahweh says:

“I will also destroy the idols,
    and I will cause the images to cease from Memphis.
There will be no more a prince from the land of Egypt.
    I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.
14 I will make Pathros desolate,
    and will set a fire in Zoan,
    and will execute judgments on No.
15 I will pour my wrath on Sin,
    the stronghold of Egypt.
    I will cut off the multitude of No.
16 I will set a fire in Egypt
    Sin will be in great anguish.
No will be broken up.
    Memphis will have adversaries in the daytime.
17 The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth will fall by the sword.
    They will go into captivity.
18 At Tehaphnehes also the day will withdraw itself,
    when I break the yokes of Egypt, there.
The pride of her power will cease in her.
    As for her, a cloud will cover her,
    and her daughters will go into captivity.
19 Thus I will execute judgments on Egypt.
    Then they will know that I am Yahweh.”’”

13 “‘This is what the Lord God says:

I will destroy the worthless idols
and put an end to the false gods in Memphis.(A)
There will no longer be
a prince from the land of Egypt.
And I will instill fear in that land.
14 I will make Pathros(B) desolate,
set fire to Zoan,
and execute judgments on Thebes.
15 I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium,
the stronghold of Egypt,
and will wipe out the hordes of Thebes.
16 I will set fire to Egypt;
Pelusium will writhe in anguish,
Thebes will be breached,
and Memphis will face foes in broad daylight.[a]
17 The young men of On[b] and Pi-beseth
will fall by the sword,
and those cities[c] will go into captivity.
18 The day will be dark[d] in Tehaphnehes,
when I break the yoke of Egypt there
and its proud strength
comes to an end in the city.
A cloud(C) will cover Tehaphnehes,[e]
and its surrounding villages will go into captivity.
19 So I will execute judgments against Egypt,
and they will know that I am the Lord.’”
