Ezekiel 30:17

OnPi-beseth
Judgment

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.

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

18 The day will be darkened in Tahpanhes when I break the yoke of Egypt and her proud strength comes to an end. A cloud will cover her, and her daughters will go into captivity.

19 So I will execute judgment on Egypt, and they will know that I am the LORD.”

Read the whole chapter

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.
