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.” ’ ”

Jeremiah 43:13

He shall break also the images of Beth-shemesh - beith shemesh is, literally, the house or temple of the sun; which was worshipped here, and whose images are said to have been of solid gold. These Nebuchadnezzar was to break and carry away; and the houses of the gods - all the temples of Egypt, he was to burn with fire. Beth-shemesh is the same as Heliopolis.
