16 I will set fire(A) to Egypt;
    Pelusium will writhe in agony.
Thebes will be taken by storm;
    Memphis(B) will be in constant distress.
17 The young men of Heliopolis(C) and Bubastis
    will fall by the sword,
    and the cities themselves will go into captivity.

    when I break the yoke of Egypt;(E)
    there her proud strength will come to an end.
She will be covered with clouds,
    and her villages will go into captivity.(F)
