Ezekiel 30:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ I will set Egypt on fire.
    Pelusium will groan with terrible pain.
Thebes will be ripped apart.
    Memphis will suffer greatly
    because of everything that happens.
¹⁷ The young men of Heliopolis and Bubastis
    will be killed by swords.
    Their people will be taken away as prisoners.
¹⁸ I will break Egypt’s power over other lands.
    That will be a dark day for Tahpanhes.
There the strength Egypt was so proud of
    will come to an end.
Egypt will be covered with clouds.
    The people in its villages
    will be taken away as prisoners.
