Context of Ezekiel 30:16
14I will make Pathros desolate, Set a fire in Zoan And execute judgments on Thebes. 15I will pour out My wrath on Sin, The stronghold of Egypt; I will also cut off the hordes of Thebes. I will set a fire in Egypt; Sin will writhe in anguish, Thebes will be breached And Memphis will have distresses daily. 17The young men of On and of Pi-beseth Will fall by the sword, And the women will go into captivity. 18In Tehaphnehes the day will be dark When I break there the yoke bars of Egypt. Then the pride of her power will cease in her; A cloud will cover her, And her daughters will go into captivity.
