9 “Take large stones in your hand, and hide them in the sight of the men of Judah, in the1 clay in the brick courtyard which is at the entrance to Pharaoh’s house in Tahpanhes;
10 and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, I will send and bring Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, aMy servant, and will set his throne above these stones that I have hidden. And he will spread his royal pavilion over them.
11 aWhen he comes, he shall strike the land of Egypt and deliver to death bthose appointed for death, and to captivity those appointed for captivity, and to the sword those appointed for the sword.
12 I will kindle a fire in the houses of athe gods of Egypt, and he shall burn them and carry them away captive. And he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd puts on his garment, and he shall go out from there in peace.
13 He shall also break the sacred pillars of1 Beth Shemesh that are in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians he shall burn with fire.” ’ ”
