Egypt's Proud Cities Will Lie in Ruins

The Lord said to the people of Egypt:

¹³ All the idols and images you Egyptians worship in the city of Memphis^[a] will be smashed. No one will be left to rule your nation, and terror will fill the land. ¹⁴ The city of Pathros will be left in ruins, and Zoan will be burned to the ground. Thebes,^[b] your capital city, will also be destroyed!
