You did many wrong things.\par You were a very crooked businessman.\par In this way, you made the holy places unclean.\par So I brought fire from inside you.\par It burned you!\par You burned to ashes on the ground.\par Now everyone can see your shame.\par
The Lord my Master says these things:\par “I will also destroy the idols {\cf2\super [247]} in Egypt.\par I will take the statues away from Memphis.\par There won’t be a leader anymore\par in the land of Egypt,\par And I will put fear in the land of Egypt.\par
I will make Pathros empty.\par I will start a fire in Zoan.\par I will punish No,\par
And I will pour out my anger against Sin,\par the fortress {\cf2\super [248]} of Egypt!\par I will destroy the people of No.\par
The young men of On and Pi Beseth {\cf2\super [249]} \par will die in battle.\par And the women will be captured\par and taken away.\par
\{God said,\} “I will send fire against Magog and those people living along the coast. They think they are safe, but they will know that I am the Lord.
The people of Israel left because the enemy took everything from them. But Egypt will take the people themselves. Memphis {\cf2\super [89]} will bury them. Weeds will grow over their silver treasures. Thorns will grow where the Israelites lived.
