11. He and his people with him, the most ruthless of nations,shall be brought in to destroy the land, and they shall draw their swords against Egyptand fill the land with the slain.
12. And I will dry up the Nileand will sell the land into the hand of evildoers; I will bring desolation upon the land and everything in it,by the hand of foreigners; I am the Lord; I have spoken.
13. “Thus says the Lord God: “I will destroy the idolsand put an end to the images in Memphis; there shall no longer be a prince from the land of Egypt;so I will put fear in the land of Egypt.
14. I will make Pathros a desolationand will set fire to Zoan and will execute judgments on Thebes.
15. And I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium,the stronghold of Egypt,and cut off the multitude of Thebes.
16. And I will set fire to Egypt;Pelusium shall be in great agony;Thebes shall be breached,and Memphis shall face enemies by day.
17. The young men of On and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword,and the women shall go into captivity.
18. At Tehaphnehes the day shall be dark,when I break there the yoke bars of Egypt,and her proud might shall come to an end in her;she shall be covered by a cloud,and her daughters shall go into captivity.
19. Thus I will execute judgments on Egypt. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
20. In the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:
21. “Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and behold, it has not been bound up, to heal it by binding it with a bandage, so that it may become strong to wield the sword.
22. Therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt and will break his arms, both the strong arm and the one that was broken, and I will make the sword fall from his hand.
23. I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them through the countries.
