15 I’ll pour out my anger on Sin,[a]
    Egypt’s strong fortress,
        and I’ll eliminate the gangs in Thebes.
16 I’ll set fire to Egypt,
    and Aswan[b] will writhe in agony.
Thebes will be demolished,
    and Memphis will face daily distress.
17 The young men of On and Pi-beseth will die violently,[c]
    and their cities will be taken captive.
