Ezekiel 30:6-9
New English Translation
6 “‘This is what the Lord says:
Egypt’s supporters will fall;
her confident pride will crumble.[a]
From Migdol to Syene[b] they will die by the sword within her,
declares the Sovereign Lord.
7 They will be desolate among desolate lands,
and their cities will be among ruined cities.
8 They will know that I am the Lord
when I ignite a fire in Egypt
and all her allies are defeated.[c]
9 “‘On that day messengers will go out from me in ships to frighten overconfident Ethiopia; panic will overtake them on the day of Egypt’s doom;[d] for beware—it is coming!

6 Thus says the Lord:
Those who support Egypt shall fall,
and its proud might shall come down;
from Migdol to Syene
they shall fall within it by the sword,
says the Lord God.(A)
7 They shall be desolated among other desolated countries,
and their cities shall lie among cities laid waste.(B)
8 Then they shall know that I am the Lord,
when I have set fire to Egypt,
and all who help it are broken.(C)
9 On that day, messengers shall go out from me in ships to terrify the secure Cushites, and anguish shall come upon them on the day of Egypt’s doom,[a] for it is coming!(D)
