Ezekiel 30:15-17
New English Translation
15 I will pour out my anger upon Pelusium,[a]
the stronghold of Egypt;
I will cut off[b] the hordes of Thebes.
16 I will ignite a fire in Egypt;
Syene[c] will writhe in agony,
Thebes will be broken down,
and Memphis will face enemies every day.
17 The young men of On and of Pi Beseth[d] will die by the sword;
and the cities will go[e] into captivity.
