Jeremiah 43:11-13
Evangelical Heritage Version
11 He will come and attack Egypt, bringing death to those doomed to death, captivity to those doomed to captivity, and the sword to those doomed to the sword. 12 I[a] will set fire to the temples of the gods of Egypt. He will burn them—or carry them away to captivity. He will wrap Egypt around himself as a shepherd wraps a cloak around himself.[b] Then he will go away in peace. 13 He will smash the sacred obelisks in the temple of the sun[c] in the land of Egypt, and he will burn down the temples of the Egyptian gods.”
