12. I will make the streams of the Nile River become dry land.Then I will sell the dry land to evil people.I will destroy the land and everything in it.I will do it through the power of strangers.I, the Lord, have spoken.
13. “‘This is what the Lord God says:I will destroy the idols.And I will take away the statues of false gods from the city of Memphis.There will no longer be a leader in Egypt.And I will spread fear through the land of Egypt.
14. I will make southern Egypt empty.I will start a fire in Zoan.I will punish Thebes.
15. And I will pour out my anger against Pelusium,the strong place of Egypt.I will destroy great numbers of people in Thebes.
16. I will set fire to Egypt.Pelusium will be in great pain.The walls of Thebes will be broken open.And Memphis will have troubles every day.
17. The young men of Heliopolis and Bubastiswill fall dead in war.And the people will be taken away as captives.
18. In Tahpanhes the day will be darkwhen I break Egypt’s power.A cloud will cover Egypt.And her villages will be captured and taken away.
19. So I will punish Egypt.And they will know I am the Lord.’”
