13 Thus says the Lord Yahweh:

“And I will destroy the idols,
    and I will put an end to the worthless idols from Memphis.
And there will no longer be[a] a prince from the land of Egypt,
    and I will put fear in the land of Egypt.
14 And I will lay waste Pathros,
    and I will set fire in Zoan,
    and I will execute judgments in No.[b]
15 I will pour out my rage over Sin,
    the stronghold of Egypt,
    and I will cut off the crowd[c] of No.[d]
16 And I will set fire in Egypt,
    certainly Sin will writhe,
and No[e] will be breached,
    and Memphis will face enemies daily.[f]
17 The young men of On and Pi Beseth will fall by the sword,
    and they will go into captivity.
18 And at Tahpanhes the day will become dark
    when I break the yoke of Egypt,
and in it the majesty of its strength
    will come to an end.
A cloud will cover it,
    and its daughters will go into captivity.
19 And I will execute judgments in Egypt,
    and they will know that I am Yahweh.”
