“Wail, ‘Alas for the day!’

    a time of the nations.
A sword will come on Egypt,
    and anguish will be in Ethiopia,
    when the slain fall in Egypt.

    and her foundations are broken down.

“‘“Ethiopia, Put, Lud, all the mixed people, Cub, and the children of the land that is allied with them, will fall with them by the sword.”
