Context of Ezekiel 30:16

14I will destroy southern Egypt, set fire to Zoan, and bring judgment against Thebes. 15I will pour out my fury on Pelusium, the strongest fortress of Egypt, and I will stamp out the hordes of Thebes. Yes, I will set fire to all Egypt! Pelusium will be racked with pain; Thebes will be torn apart; Memphis will live in constant terror. 17The young men of Heliopolis and Bubastis will die in battle, and the women will be taken away as slaves. 18When I come to break the proud strength of Egypt, it will be a dark day for Tahpanhes, too. A dark cloud will cover Tahpanhes, and its daughters will be led away as captives.
