Ezekiel 30:1-5
Legacy Standard Bible
Those Who Support Egypt Will Fall
30 The word of Yahweh came again to me saying, 2 “Son of man, prophesy and say, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh,
“(A)Wail, ‘Alas for the day!’
3 For the day is near,
Even (B)the day of Yahweh is near;
It will be a day of (C)clouds,
A time of doom for the nations.
4 A sword will come upon Egypt,
And anguish will be in [a]Ethiopia;
When the slain fall in Egypt,
They (D)take away her multitude,
And her foundations are pulled down.
5 [b]Ethiopia, Put, Lud, all [c](E)Arabia, [d]Libya, and the [e]people of the land [f]that is in covenant will fall with them by the sword.”

Lamentation for Egypt
30 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord God:
“Wail, ‘Alas for the day!’
3 For the day is near,
the day of the Lord is near;
it will be a day of clouds,
a time of doom for the nations.
4 A sword shall come upon Egypt,
and anguish shall be in Ethiopia,
when the slain fall in Egypt,
and her wealth is carried away,
and her foundations are torn down.
5 Ethiopia, and Put, and Lud, and all Arabia, and Libya,[a] and the people of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.
