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.
