18 As I live, declares the king,
    whose name is the Lord of heavenly forces,
one is coming
    just as surely as Tabor is in the mountains
    and Carmel is by the sea.[a]
19 Get what you need for deportation,
    you inhabitants of Egypt.[b]
Memphis will be reduced to a wasteland,
    a ruin with no one left.
20 Egypt is a beautiful, yes, beautiful heifer,
    but a horsefly from the north
        is coming to bite her.[c]
