13. “This is what the Sovereign lord says:I will smash the idols of Egyptand the images at Memphis.There will be no rulers left in Egypt;terror will sweep the land.
14. I will destroy southern Egypt,set fire to Zoan,and bring judgment against Thebes.
15. I will pour out my fury on Pelusium,the strongest fortress of Egypt,and I will stamp outthe 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 will die in battle,and the women 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.”
