13 ‘Thus says the Lord God:

“I will also (A)destroy the idols,
And cause the images to cease from [a]Noph;
(B)There shall no longer be princes from the land of Egypt;
(C)I will put fear in the land of Egypt.
14 I will make (D)Pathros desolate,
Set fire to (E)Zoan,
(F)And execute judgments in [b]No.
15 I will pour My fury on [c]Sin, the strength of Egypt;
(G)I will cut off the multitude of [d]No,
16 And (H)set a fire in Egypt;
Sin shall have great pain,
No shall be split open,
And Noph shall be in distress daily.
17 The young men of [e]Aven and Pi Beseth shall fall by the sword,
And these cities shall go into captivity.
18 (I)At [f]Tehaphnehes the day shall also be [g]darkened,
When I break the yokes of Egypt there.
And her arrogant strength shall cease in her;
As for her, a cloud shall cover her,
And her daughters shall go into captivity.
19 Thus I will (J)execute judgments on Egypt,
Then they shall know that I am the Lord.” ’ ”
