13 The princes of Zoʹan have acted foolishly,+ the princes of Noph*+ have been deceived, the keymen+ of her tribes have caused Egypt to wander about.

14 “Tell [it] in Egypt, O men, and publish [it] in Migʹdol,+ and publish [it] in Noph*+ and in Tahʹpan·hes.+ Say, ‘Station yourself, making preparation also for yourself,+ for a sword will certainly devour all around you.+

16 And I will set a fire in Egypt. Sin will without fail be in severe pains, and No itself will come to be for capture by breaches; and as regards Noph—there will be adversaries during the daytime!

6 For, look! they will have to go because of despoiling.+ Egypt itself will collect them together;+ Memʹphis,*+ for its part, will bury them. As for their desirable things of silver, nettles themselves will take possession of them;+ thorny bushes will be in their tents.+
