Context of Ezekiel 30:17

15And I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt, and cut off the multitude of Thebes. 16And I will set fire to Egypt; Pelusium shall be in great agony; Thebes shall be breached, and Memphis shall face enemies by day. The young men of On and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword, and the women shall go into captivity. 18At Tehaphnehes the day shall be dark, when I break there the yoke bars of Egypt, and her proud might shall come to an end in her; she shall be covered by a cloud, and her daughters shall go into captivity. 19Thus I will execute judgments on Egypt. Then they will know that I am the Lord."
