Ezekiel 30:13–19

“Thus says the Lord God:

“I will destroy the idols

and 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.

I will make Pathros a desolation

and will set fire to Zoan

and will execute judgments on Thebes.

And I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium,

the stronghold of Egypt,

and cut off the multitude of Thebes.

And I will set fire to Egypt;

Pelusium shall be in great agony;

Thebes shall be breached,

and Memphis shall face enemies by day.

The young men of On and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword,

and the women shall go into captivity.

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.

Thus I will execute judgments on Egypt.

Then they will know that I am the Lord.”

“ ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“ ‘I will destroy the idols

and put an end to the images in Memphis.

No longer will there be a prince in Egypt,

and I will spread fear throughout the land.

I will lay waste Upper Egypt,

set fire to Zoan

and inflict punishment on Thebes.

I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium,

the stronghold of Egypt,

and wipe out the hordes of Thebes.

I will set fire to Egypt;

Pelusium will writhe in agony.

Thebes will be taken by storm;

Memphis will be in constant distress.

The young men of Heliopolis and Bubastis

will fall by the sword,

and the cities themselves will go into captivity.

Dark will be the day at Tahpanhes

when I break the yoke of Egypt;

there her proud strength will come to an end.

She will be covered with clouds,

and her villages will go into captivity.

So I will inflict punishment on Egypt,

and they will know that I am the Lord.’ ”

“This is what the Sovereign Lord says:

I will smash the idols of Egypt

and the images at Memphis.

There will be no rulers left in Egypt;

terror will sweep the land.

I will destroy southern Egypt,

set fire to Zoan,

and bring judgment against Thebes.

I will pour out my fury on Pelusium,

the strongest fortress of Egypt,

and I will stamp out

the hordes of Thebes.

Yes, I will set fire to all Egypt!

Pelusium will be racked with pain;

Thebes will be torn apart;

Memphis will live in constant terror.

The young men of Heliopolis and Bubastis will die in battle,

and the women will be taken away as slaves.

When I come to break the proud strength of Egypt,

it will be a dark day for Tahpanhes, too.

A dark cloud will cover Tahpanhes,

and its daughters will be led away as captives.

And so I will greatly punish Egypt,

and they will know that I am the Lord.”

Thus says the Lord Yahweh:

“And I will destroy the idols,

and I will put an end to the worthless idols from Memphis.

And there will no longer be a prince from the land of Egypt,

and I will put fear in the land of Egypt.

And I will lay waste Pathros,

and I will set fire in Zoan,

and I will execute judgments in No.

I will pour out my rage over Sin,

the stronghold of Egypt,

and I will cut off the crowd of No.

And I will set fire in Egypt,

certainly Sin will writhe,

and No will be breached,

and Memphis will face enemies daily.

The young men of On and Pi Beseth will fall by the sword,

and they will go into captivity.

And at Tahpanhes the day will become dark

when I break the yoke of Egypt,

and in it the majesty of its strength

will come to an end.

A cloud will cover it,

and its daughters will go into captivity.

And I will execute judgments in Egypt,

and they will know that I am Yahweh.”

Thus saith the Lord God; I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause their images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt. And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in No. And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No. And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain, and No shall be rent asunder, and Noph shall have distresses daily. The young men of Aven and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword: and these cities shall go into captivity. At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt: and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity. Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
