Ezekiel 30:14-16
International Standard Version
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.
16 I’ll set fire to Egypt,
and Aswan[d] will writhe in agony.
Thebes will be demolished,
and Memphis will face daily distress.
