Ezekiel 30:13-16

30:13 “‘This is what the sovereign Lord says:

I will destroy the idols,

and put an end to the gods of Memphis.

There will no longer be a prince from the land of Egypt;

so I will make the land of Egypt fearful. ¹ 

30:14 I will desolate Pathros,

I will ignite a fire in Zoan,

and I will execute judgments on Thebes.

30:15 I will pour out my anger upon Pelusium, ² 

the stronghold of Egypt;

I will cut off ³  the hordes of Thebes.

30:16 I will ignite a fire in Egypt;

Syene ⁴  will writhe in agony,

Thebes will be broken down,

and Memphis will face enemies every day.
