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

On that day (E)messengers will go out from Me in ships to frighten (F)carefree [a]Cush; and (G)trembling will come on them as on the day of Egypt; for behold, it is coming!”

“Thus says the Lord:
(A)Those who support Egypt shall fall,
    and (B)her proud might shall come down;
(C)from Migdol to Syene
    they shall fall within her by the sword,
declares the Lord God.
(D)And they shall be desolated in the midst of desolated countries,
    and their cities shall be in the midst of cities that are laid waste.
(E)Then they will know that I am the Lord,
    when (F)I have set fire to Egypt,
    and (G)all her helpers are broken.

“On that day (H)messengers shall go out from me in ships to terrify the unsuspecting (I)people of Cush, and (J)anguish shall come upon them on the day of Egypt's doom;[a] for, behold, it comes!
