And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in No.
When God comes forth to contend with a provoking people, what can shield them? Egypt shall wail and shriek, for the day of the Lord, dark, terrible, a day of reckoning with all heathen nations, approaches swiftly. The sword of the Chaldeans will come; cities that seemed strong will crumble when their foundations are broken down.

Commenting on Ezekiel 30:1-19
And I will make Pathros desolate,.... A country in Egypt; See Gill on Eze 29:14, perhaps it was the first place that Nebuchadnezzar entered, and so went from place to place in the order hereafter mentioned: and I will set fire in Zoan; or Tunis, a famous city in Egypt in the times of Moses, Num 13:22.
Pathros--Upper Egypt, with "No" or Thebes its capital (famed for its stupendous buildings, of which grand ruins remain), in antithesis to Zoan or Tanis, a chief city in Lower Egypt, within the Delta.
