Context of Ezekiel 30:17

15I will pour My fury on Sin, the strength of Egypt; I will cut off the multitude of No, 16And set a fire in Egypt; Sin shall have great pain, No shall be split open, And Noph shall be in distress daily. The young men of Aven and Pi Beseth shall fall by the sword, And these cities shall go into captivity. 18At Tehaphnehes the day shall also be darkened, When I break the yokes of Egypt there. And her arrogant strength shall cease in her; As for her, a cloud shall cover her, And her daughters shall go into captivity. 19Thus I will execute judgments on Egypt, Then they shall know that I am the Lord.” ’ ”
