11 He will also come and (A)strike the land of Egypt; those who are meant for death will be given over to death, and those for captivity to captivity, and (B)those for the sword to the sword. 12 And [a]I shall set fire to the temples of the (C)gods of Egypt, and he will burn them and take them captive. So he will [b](D)wrap himself with the land of Egypt as a shepherd [c]wraps himself with his garment, and he will depart from there safely. 13 He will also smash to pieces the [d]obelisks of [e]Heliopolis, which is in the land of Egypt; and the temples of the gods of Egypt he will burn with fire.”’”
