13 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
I will smash the idols[a] of Egypt
    and the images at Memphis.[b]
There will be no rulers left in Egypt;
    terror will sweep the land.
14 I will destroy southern Egypt,[c]
    set fire to Zoan,
    and bring judgment against Thebes.[d]
15 I will pour out my fury on Pelusium,[e]
    the strongest fortress of Egypt,
and I will stamp out
    the hordes of Thebes.
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.
17 The young men of Heliopolis and Bubastis[f] will die in battle,
    and the women[g] will be taken away as slaves.
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.
19 And so I will greatly punish Egypt,
    and they will know that I am the Lord.”
