12. I will dry up the waterwaysand hand the land over to evil men.I will make the land and everything in it desolate by the hand of foreigners.I, the Lord, have spoken!
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.
14. I will desolate Pathros,I will ignite a fire in Zoan,and I will execute judgments on Thebes.
15. I will pour out my anger upon Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt;I will cut off the hordes of Thebes.
16. I will ignite a fire in Egypt; Syene will writhe in agony, Thebes will be broken down,and Memphis will face enemies every day.
17. The young men of On and of Pi-beseth will die by the sword;and the cities will go into captivity.
