And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain, and No shall be rent asunder, and Noph shall have distresses daily.
I'm going to set Egypt on fire. Sin will be in agony, No will be completely torn apart, and Memphis will face constant trouble every single day.

📚 Historical Context
Ezekiel was a prophet during the Babylonian exile, delivering God's messages of judgment against nations that opposed Israel. In this verse, he prophesies the destruction of key Egyptian cities, Sin (likely Pelusium), No (Thebes), and Noph (Memphis), as part of God's punishment for Egypt's pride and unreliable alliances. This fits into a broader biblical narrative where God uses powerful empires like Babylon to enforce His justice and demonstrate sovereignty over all nations.
