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]

        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.
