Ezekiel 30:6-9
New Living Translation
6 “For this is what the Lord says:
All of Egypt’s allies will fall,
and the pride of her power will end.
From Migdol to Aswan[a]
they will be slaughtered by the sword,
says the Sovereign Lord.
7 Egypt will be desolate,
surrounded by desolate nations,
and its cities will be in ruins,
surrounded by other ruined cities.
8 And the people of Egypt will know that I am the Lord
when I have set Egypt on fire
and destroyed all their allies.
9 At that time I will send swift messengers in ships
to terrify the complacent Ethiopians.
Great panic will come upon them
on that day of Egypt’s certain destruction.
Watch for it!
It is sure to come!

and their cities shall be in the midst of cities that are laid waste.

when (F)I have set fire to Egypt,
and (G)all her helpers are broken.
9 “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!
