I will set his throne upon these stones that I have hidden. He shall spread his royal canopy over them. 11 And when he comes, he shall destroy the land of Egypt, killing all those I want killed and capturing those I want captured, and many shall die of plague. 12 He will set fire to the temples of the gods of Egypt and burn the idols and carry off the people as his captives.

12 And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captives: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment; and he shall go forth from thence in peace.
