16. I will set a fire in Egypt. Sin will writhe in anguish. No will be assaulted. Noph will face enemies daily.
17. The young men of Aven and Pi-beseth will fall by the sword and the women will go into captivity.
18. In Tehaphnehes the day will grow dark when I break the yokes of Egypt there. The pride of her power will cease in her —a cloud will cover her. Her daughters will go into captivity.
19. So I will execute judgments in Egypt, and they will know that I am Adonai.”
20. On the seventh day of the first month of the eleventh year, the word of Adonai came to me saying:
21. “Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Behold, it has not been bound up to be healed or put in a splint, so that it is wrapped up with a bandage, to grow strong to wield the sword.”
22. Therefore thus says Adonai Elohim: “I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt. I will break his arms, the strong one and the one that was broken. I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
