Jeremiah 43:10-13

10and say to them, ‘This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “Behold, I am going to send men and get 1My servant 2Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and I am going to set his throne over these stones that I have hidden; and he will spread his 3 4canopy over them.

11He will also come and 5strike the land of Egypt; those who are meant for death will be given over to death, and those for captivity to captivity, and 6those for the sword to the sword.

12And 7I shall set fire to the temples of the 8gods of Egypt, and he will burn them and take them captive. So he will 9 10wrap himself with the land of Egypt as a shepherd 11wraps himself with his garment, and he will depart from there safely.

13He will also smash to pieces the 12obelisks of 13Heliopolis, which is in the land of Egypt; and the temples of the gods of Egypt he will burn with fire.”’”
