¹³ The officials of Zoan^(A) have become fools,
    the leaders of Memphis^(B) are deceived;
the cornerstones^(C) of her peoples
    have led Egypt astray.

¹⁶ Also, the men of Memphis^(A) and Tahpanhes^(B)
    have cracked your skull.

¹⁴ “Announce this in Egypt, and proclaim it in Migdol;
    proclaim it also in Memphis^(A) and Tahpanhes:^(B)
‘Take your positions and get ready,
    for the sword devours^(C) those around you.’

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.
