This is what the Lord says:
Those who support Egypt will fall,
and its proud strength will collapse.
From Migdol to Syene
they will fall within it by the sword.
This is the declaration of the Lord God.
They will be desolate
among[a] desolate lands,
and their cities will lie
among ruined[b] cities.(A)
They will know that I am the Lord
when I set fire to Egypt(B)
and all its allies are shattered.

On that day, messengers will go out from me in ships(C) to terrify confident Cush. Anguish will come over them on the day of Egypt’s doom.[c] For indeed it is coming.

Thus says Yahweh:

“And the supporters of Egypt will fall,
    and the majesty of its strength will go down
from Migdol to Syene;
    by the sword they will fall in it,”
declares[a] the Lord Yahweh.
“And they will be desolate in the midst of desolate countries,
    and its cities will be in the midst of ruined cities.
And they will know that I am Yahweh
    when I put my fire in Egypt,
    and all of its helpers are broken.

On that day messengers will go down from before me[b] in the ships to terrify unsuspecting Cush, and anguish will be in them on the day of Egypt; for look, it is coming!”
