13. The Lord God proclaims:I will destroy the idolsand bring an end to the images in Memphis.Never again will there be a prince from the land of Egypt;so I will kindle fear in the land of Egypt.
14. I will turn Pathros into a desolation,set fire to Zoan,and execute judgments in Thebes.
15. I will pour out my anger on Pelusium,the stronghold of Egypt,and I will cut down pompous Thebes.
16. I will set Egypt on fire;Pelusium will writhe in travail,Thebes will be split open,Memphis assaulted in broad daylight.
17. The elite troops of On and Pi-besethwill fall by the sword,and the cities themselves will go into captivity.
18. At Tehaphnehes the day will go dark when I break Egypt’s yoke and bring an end to its proud strength. A cloud will cover it, and the towns around it will go into captivity.
19. I will execute judgments in Egypt, and they will know that I am the Lord.
20. In the eleventh year, on the seventh day of the first month, the Lord’s word came to me:
21. Human one, I’ve broken the arm of Pharaoh, Egypt’s king, and it hasn’t been set so that it might heal, nor has it been braced or wrapped up so that it might be strong enough to grasp a sword.
