This is what the Lord Yahweh says: I will also destroy the idols,a and I will cause the images to cease from Memphis; and there will be no longer a ruler from the land of Egypt, and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.
a[13]
Lit. “Worthless Ones”
“idols.” The Hebrew text has the word 'eliyl (#0457 אֱלִיל), more literally “Worthless Ones” or “worthless things,” a sarcastic name for “idols” (see commentary on Habakkuk 2:18, “worthless things”).
