Ezekiel 30:6-9
Legacy Standard Bible
6 ‘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.
7 “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.
8 And they will (C)know that I am Yahweh,
When I set a (D)fire in Egypt
And all her helpers are broken.
9 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!”

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]
