Ezekiel 30:14

PathrosThebesZoan
Judgment

12 I will make the streams dry up and sell the land to the wicked. By the hands of foreigners I will bring desolation upon the land and everything in it. I, the LORD, have spoken.

13 This is what the Lord GOD says: I will destroy the idols and put an end to the images in Memphis. There will no longer be a prince in Egypt, and I will instill fear in that land.

I will lay waste Pathros, set fire to Zoan, and execute judgment on Thebes.

15 I will pour out My wrath on Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt, and cut off the crowds of Thebes.

16 I will set fire to Egypt, Pelusium will writhe in anguish, Thebes will be split open, and Memphis will face daily distress.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
