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.”

International Standard Version
The Day of the Lord
30 Another message came to me from the Lord, who had this to say:
2 “Son of Man, here’s what you are to prophesy and announce,
‘This is what the Lord God says:
“Wail out loud!
Oh no! The day!
3 For comes now the day—
comes now the Day of the Lord,
the day of clouds!
The time of the gentiles[a] is fulfilled![b]
4 War[c] will come to Egypt,
and Ethiopia will be in anguish
when the slain fall in Egypt,
when her wealth is carried off,
and her foundations are demolished.
5 “Ethiopia,[d] Libya,[e] descendants of[f] Lud,[g] all those who have mixed themselves,[h] and Libya[i]—along with everyone in the land of Israel who is in league[j] with them—will die violently.”’”[k]
