13. “ ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: “ ‘I will destroy the idols and put an end to the images in Memphis. No longer will there be a prince in Egypt, and I will spread fear throughout the land.
14. I will lay waste Upper Egypt, set fire to Zoan and inflict punishment on Thebes.
15. I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt, and wipe out the hordes of Thebes.
16. I will set fire to Egypt; Pelusium will writhe in agony. Thebes will be taken by storm; Memphis will be in constant distress.
17. The young men of Heliopolis and Bubastis will fall by the sword, and the cities themselves will go into captivity.
