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 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)
