11 He will come and attack the land of Egypt—those meant for death will be put to death, those meant for captivity will be taken captive, and those meant for the sword will be put to the sword. 12 He[a] will set fire to the temples[b] of the gods of Egypt. He will burn their idols[c] and take them captive. He will wrap himself with the land of Egypt like a shepherd wraps himself with a garment, and then he will leave from there in peace. 13 He will shatter the pillars of Heliopolis[d] in the land of Egypt and will burn the temples of the gods of Egypt with fire.”’”
