'Thebes' in the Bible
The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, says, “Behold, I am going to punish Amon [chief god of the sacred city] of Thebes [the capital of Upper Egypt], and Pharaoh, and Egypt along with her gods and her kings—even Pharaoh and those who put their trust in him [as a shield against Babylon].
“I will make Pathros desolate,Set fire to ZoanAnd execute judgments and punishments on Thebes.
“I will pour out My wrath on Pelusium,The stronghold of Egypt,And I will cut off (destroy) the population of Thebes.
“I will set fire to Egypt;Pelusium will writhe in [great] anguish,Thebes shall be torn openAnd Memphis shall be in daily distress.
Are you better than Thebes,Which was situated by the waters of the Nile,With water surrounding her,Whose defense was the sea (the Nile),Whose wall consisted of the sea?
