13 ‘Thus says the Lord God,
“I will also (A)destroy the idols
And make the (a)images cease from (b)(B)Memphis.
And there will no longer be a prince in the land of Egypt;
And I will put fear in the land of Egypt.
14
“I will make (C)Pathros desolate,
Set a fire in (D)Zoan
And execute judgments on (c)(E)Thebes.
15
“I will pour out My wrath on (d)Sin,
The stronghold of Egypt;
I will also cut off the hordes of (e)Thebes.
16
“I will set a fire in Egypt;
(f)Sin will writhe in anguish,
(g)Thebes will be breached
And (h)Memphis will have (i)distresses daily.
17
“The young men of (j)(F)On and of Pi-beseth
Will fall by the sword,
And (k)the women will go into captivity.
18
“In (G)Tehaphnehes the day will (l)be (H)dark
When I (I)break there the yoke bars of Egypt.
Then the pride of her power will cease in her;
A cloud will cover her,
And her daughters will go into captivity.
19
“Thus I will (J)execute judgments on Egypt,
And they will know that I am the Lord.”’”
