⁷ “‘They will be desolate
    among desolate lands,
and their cities will lie
    among ruined cities.^(A)
8 Then they will know that I am the Lord,
    when I set fire^(B) to Egypt
    and all her helpers are crushed.^(C)

“‘I will destroy the idols^(A)
    and put an end to the images in Memphis.^(B)
No longer will there be a prince in Egypt,^(C)
    and I will spread fear throughout the land.
¹⁴ I will lay^(D) waste Upper Egypt,
    set fire to Zoan^(E)
    and inflict punishment on Thebes.^(F)
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^(G) to Egypt;
    Pelusium will writhe in agony.
Thebes will be taken by storm;
    Memphis^(H) will be in constant distress.
¹⁷ The young men of Heliopolis^(I) and Bubastis
    will fall by the sword,
    and the cities themselves will go into captivity.
¹⁸ Dark will be the day at Tahpanhes^(J)
    when I break the yoke of Egypt;^(K)
    there her proud strength will come to an end.
She will be covered with clouds,
    and her villages will go into captivity.^(L)
19 So I will inflict punishment^(M) on Egypt,
    and they will know that I am the Lord.’”
