Context of Ezekiel 30:14
12I will cause the Nile river to become dry. I will put the land under the power of evil men. Foreigners will destroy the land of Egypt and everything that is in it. That is what I, the Lord, say. 13The Almighty Lord says this: I will destroy Egypt's idols and the false gods in Memphis. Egypt will no longer have its own ruler. I will cause Egypt's people to be very afraid. I will make Pathros a desert. I will burn Zoan with fire. I will punish the city of Thebes. 15I will punish Egypt's strong city of Pelusium. I will show the people there that I am very angry. I will destroy all the soldiers in Thebes. 16Yes, I will destroy all of Egypt with fire! The people of Pelusium will suffer with great pain. Enemies will knock down the walls of Thebes. The people of Memphis will live in fear every day.
