Destruction of Egypt’s Gods

13 “This is what the Lord God says:

‘I will destroy the idols
    and put an end to the images that come from Memphis.
There will no longer be a prince from the land of Egypt,
    and I will terrify the land of Egypt.
14 I’m going to turn Pathros into a desolation,
    set fire to Zoan,[a]
        and judge Thebes.[b]
15 I’ll pour out my anger on Sin,[c]
    Egypt’s strong fortress,
        and I’ll eliminate the gangs in Thebes.
