15 And I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium,
    the stronghold of Egypt,
    and cut off the multitude[a] of Thebes.
16 And I will set fire to Egypt;
    Pelusium shall be in great agony;
Thebes shall be breached,
    and (A)Memphis shall face enemies[b] by day.
17 The young men of On and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword,
    and the women[c] shall go into captivity.
18 At (B)Tehaphnehes (C)the day shall be dark,
    when I break there the yoke bars of Egypt,
and (D)her proud might shall come to an end in her;
    she shall be covered by a cloud,
    and her daughters shall go into captivity.
