13. This is what the Lord God says:I will destroy the idols and put an endto the false gods in Memphis. There will no longer bea prince from the land of Egypt.So I will instill fear in that land.
14. I will make Pathros 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 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.
17. The young men of On and Pi-besethwill fall by the sword,and those cities will go into captivity.
18. The day will be dark in Tehaphnehes,when I break the yoke of Egypt thereand its proud strengthcomes to an end in the city.A cloud will cover Tehaphnehes, and its villages will go into captivity.
19. So I will execute judgments against Egypt,and they will know that I am Yahweh.
20. In the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:
