Ezekiel 30:13-19

New International Reader's Version

“I will destroy the statues of Egypt’s gods.
    I will put an end to the gods
    the people in Memphis worship.
Egypt will not have princes anymore.
    I will spread fear all through the land.
¹⁴ I will completely destroy Upper Egypt.
    I will set Zoan on fire.
    I will punish Thebes.
¹⁵ I will pour out my burning anger on Pelusium.
    It is a fort in eastern Egypt.
    I will wipe out the huge army of Thebes.
¹⁶ I will set Egypt on fire.
    Pelusium will groan with terrible pain.
Thebes will be ripped apart.
    Memphis will suffer greatly
    because of everything that happens.
¹⁷ The young men of Heliopolis and Bubastis
    will be killed by swords.
    Their people will be taken away as prisoners.
¹⁸ I will break Egypt’s power over other lands.
    That will be a dark day for Tahpanhes.
There the strength Egypt was so proud of
    will come to an end.
Egypt will be covered with clouds.
    The people in its villages
    will be taken away as prisoners.
¹⁹ So I will punish Egypt.
    Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
