¹⁴ “Shout it out in Egypt!
    Publish it in the cities of Migdol, Memphis,^[a] and Tahpanhes!
Mobilize for battle,
    for the sword will devour everyone around you.

¹¹ In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time
    to bring back the remnant of his people—
those who remain in Assyria and northern Egypt;
    in southern Egypt, Ethiopia,^[a] and Elam;
    in Babylonia,^[b] Hamath, and all the distant coastlands.

¹³ The officials of Zoan are fools,
    and the officials of Memphis^[a] are deluded.
The leaders of the people
    have led Egypt astray.

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.

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.

¹⁴ I will destroy southern Egypt,^[a]
    set fire to Zoan,
    and bring judgment against Thebes.^[b]

¹⁹ Pack up! Get ready to leave for exile,
    you citizens of Egypt!
The city of Memphis will be destroyed,
    without a single inhabitant.
