16 And I will set fire to Egypt;
    Pelusium shall be in great agony;
Thebes shall be breached,
    and its walls broken down.[a]
17 The young men of On and of Pibe′seth shall fall by the sword;
    and the women shall go into captivity.
18 At Tehaph′nehes the day shall be dark,
    when I break there the dominion of Egypt,
and her proud might shall come to an end;
    she shall be covered by a cloud,
    and her daughters shall go into captivity.
