Context of Ezekiel 30:16

14I 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. Yes, 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. 17The young men of Heliopolis and Bubastis will die in the war. Enemies will take the other people from those cities as their prisoners. 18It will be a very dark day in Tahpanhes when I destroy Egypt's strength. Egypt will not be proud of her great power any more. A dark cloud will cover the land. Enemies will take away the people from Egypt's villages as prisoners.
