Ezekiel 30:14-19 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

14. I will completely destroy Upper Egypt. I will set Zoan on fire. I will punish Thebes.

15. I will pour out my burning anger on Pelusium. It is a fort in eastern Egypt. I will cut off the huge army of Thebes.

16. I will set Egypt on fire. Pelusium will groan with terrible pain. Thebes will be ripped apart. Memphis will suffer greatly because of everything that happens.

17. The young men of Heliopolis and Bubastis will be killed with swords. Their people will be taken away as prisoners.

18. I will break Egypt's power over other lands. That will be a dark day for Tahpanhes. There the strength Egypt was so proud of will come to an end. Egypt will be covered with clouds. The people in its villages will be taken away as prisoners.

19. So I will punish Egypt. Then they will know that I am the Lord."
