Ezekiel 30:6-9

International Standard Version

Continued Judgment on Egypt

⁶“This is what the Lord says:

‘Those who are supporting Egypt will fall;
her majestic strength that she brought^[a] from the Aswan^[b] fortress will collapse
by the sword that invades her,’
declares the Lord God.

⁷They’ll remain desolate among desolate lands,
    their cities will be named among those that are ruined.
⁸They will know that I am the Lord
    when I kindle my fire in Egypt
        and all who help her are crushed.

⁹‘When that happens, couriers will go out in ships to terrify Ethiopia^[c] in its complacency. Anguish will visit them as it will visit Egypt. Watch out! It’s coming!’”
