“Wail, ‘Alas for the day!’
3 For the day is near,
the day of the Lord is near;

and anguish shall be in Ethiopia,
when the slain fall in Egypt,

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.
