Ezekiel 30:15

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.

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

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.

17 The young men of On and Pi-beseth will fall by the sword, and those cities will go into captivity.

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.
