‘Thus says Yahweh,

“Indeed, those who support (A)Egypt will fall,
And the pride of her strength will come down;
From Migdol to Syene
They will fall within her by the sword,”
Declares Lord Yahweh.
“They will be desolate
In the (B)midst of the desolated lands;
And her cities will be
In the midst of the cities laid waste.
And they will (C)know that I am Yahweh,
When I set a (D)fire in Egypt
And all her helpers are broken.

On that day (E)messengers will go forth from Me in ships to frighten (F)secure [a]Ethiopia; and (G)anguish will be on them as on the day of Egypt; for behold, it is coming!”

  1. Ezekiel 30:9 Or Cush, cf. Gen 10:6

This is what the Lord says. Those who prop up Egypt will fall, and its proud power will sink down. From Migdol to Aswan, those in Egypt will fall by the sword, declares the Lord God. It will be the most desolate among the desolate lands, and its cities will be the most ruined among the ruined cities. They will know that I am the Lord when I set fire to Egypt, and all its helpers are crushed. On that day, messengers will go out from me in ships to terrify confident Cush, and there will be panic among them on the day for Egypt, for it is surely coming.
