Context of Ezekiel 30:16

14I will make Pathros desolate, Set fire to Zoan And execute judgments and punishments on Thebes. 15I will pour out My wrath on Pelusium, The stronghold of Egypt, And I will cut off (destroy) the population of Thebes. I will set fire to Egypt; Pelusium will writhe in [great] anguish, Thebes shall be torn open And Memphis shall be in daily distress. 17The young men of On (Aven) and of Pi-beseth Will fall by the sword, And the women [and children] will go into captivity. 18In Tehaphnehes the day will be dark When I break the yoke bars and dominion of Egypt there. Then the pride of her power will come to an end; A cloud [of disasters] will cover her, And her daughters will go into captivity.
