    ^(C)have shaved^[a] the crown of your head.

¹⁴ “Declare in Egypt, and proclaim in ^(A)Migdol;
    proclaim in ^(B)Memphis and ^(C)Tahpanhes;
say, ^(D)‘Stand ready and be prepared,
    for ^(E)the sword shall devour around you.’

^19 (A)Prepare yourselves baggage for exile,
    O ^(B)inhabitants of Egypt!
For ^(C)Memphis shall become a waste,
    a ruin, ^(D)without inhabitant.

^(A)“I will destroy the idols
    and put an end to the images in ^(B)Memphis;
^(C)there shall no longer be a prince from the land of Egypt;
    so ^(D)I will put fear in the land of Egypt.

¹⁶ And I will set fire to Egypt;
    Pelusium shall be in great agony;
Thebes shall be breached,
    and ^(A)Memphis shall face enemies^[a] by day.
