Ezekiel 30:13-19
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
13 Thus says the Lord God:
I will destroy the idols
and put an end to the images in Memphis;
there shall no longer be a prince in the land of Egypt,
so I will put fear in the land of Egypt.(A)
14 I will make Pathros a desolation
and will set fire to Zoan
and will execute acts of judgment on Thebes.(B)
15 I will pour my wrath upon Pelusium,
the stronghold of Egypt,
and will cut off the hordes of Thebes.(C)
16 I will set fire to Egypt;
Pelusium shall be in great agony;
Thebes shall be breached
and Memphis face adversaries by day.
17 The young men of On and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword,
and the cities themselves[a] shall go into captivity.
18 At Tehaphnehes the day shall be dark,
when I break there the dominion of Egypt,
and its proud might shall come to an end;
the city[b] shall be covered by a cloud,
and its daughter towns shall go into captivity.(D)
19 Thus I will execute acts of judgment on Egypt.
Then they shall know that I am the Lord.(E)
Ezekiel 30:13-19
Holman Christian Standard Bible
13 This is what the Lord God says:
I will destroy the idols and put an end
to the false gods in Memphis.(A)
There will no longer be
a prince from the land of Egypt.
So I will instill fear in that land.
14 I will make Pathros(B) desolate,
set fire to Zoan,
and execute judgments on Thebes.
15 I will pour out My wrath on Pelusium,
the stronghold of Egypt,
and will wipe out the crowds[a] of Thebes.
16 I will set fire to Egypt;
Pelusium will writhe in anguish,
Thebes will be breached,
and Memphis will face foes in broad daylight.[b]
17 The young men of On[c] and Pi-beseth
will fall by the sword,
and those cities[d] will go into captivity.
18 The day will be dark[e] in Tehaphnehes,
when I break the yoke of Egypt there
and its proud strength
comes to an end in the city.
A cloud(C) will cover Tehaphnehes,[f]
and its villages will go into captivity.
19 So I will execute judgments against Egypt,
and they will know that I am Yahweh.
