Ezekiel 30:13-19
New American Standard Bible
13 ‘This is what the Lord God says:
“I will also (A)destroy the idols
And make the [a]images cease from [b](B)Memphis.
And there will no longer be a prince in the land of Egypt;
And I will put fear in the land of Egypt.
14 I will make (C)Pathros desolate,
Set a fire in (D)Zoan
And execute judgments on [c](E)Thebes.
15 I will pour out My wrath on [d]Sin,
The stronghold of Egypt;
I will also eliminate the hordes of [e]Thebes.
16 I will set a fire in Egypt;
[f]Sin will writhe in anguish,
[g]Thebes will be breached
And [h]Memphis will have [i]distresses daily.
17 The young men of [j](F)On and of Pi-beseth
Will fall by the sword,
And [k]the women will go into captivity.
18 In (G)Tehaphnehes the day will [l]be (H)dark
When I (I)break there the yoke bars of Egypt.
Then the pride of her power will cease in her;
A cloud will cover her,
And her daughters will go into captivity.
19 So I will (J)execute judgments on Egypt,
And they will know that I am the Lord.”’”

Common English Bible
13 The Lord God proclaims:
I will destroy the idols
and bring an end to the images in Memphis.
Never again will there be a prince from the land of Egypt;
so I will kindle fear in the land of Egypt.
14 I will turn Pathros into a desolation,
set fire to Zoan,
and execute judgments in Thebes.
15 I will pour out my anger on Pelusium,
the stronghold of Egypt,
and I will cut down pompous Thebes.
16 I will set Egypt on fire;
Pelusium will writhe in travail,
Thebes will be split open,
Memphis assaulted in broad daylight.
17 The elite troops of On and Pi-beseth
will fall by the sword,
and the cities themselves will go into captivity.
18 At Tehaphnehes the day will go dark when I break Egypt’s yoke and bring an end to its proud strength. A cloud will cover it, and the towns around it will go into captivity. 19 I will execute judgments in Egypt, and they will know that I am the Lord.
